Even prior to the start of training camp, it appears that the Los Angeles Lakers have gotten yet another late round steal in Ivica Zubac.
Having the pleasure of watching Summer League this year in Las Vegas, my expectations for the 7-footer were just about where Zubac described in his introductory press conference, but he quickly made good on his promise, proving that he can indeed help the team now.
With his best performance coming in the finale of Summer League against the Utah Jazz, finishing with 16 points, 11 rebounds and six blocks, Zubac made the Lakers’ recent statement about viewing him as a fringe lottery pick that much more believable.
