Ante Zizic was seriously impressive in recent overtime win
When the Celtics opened their treasure chest of picks during the 2016 NBA draft, it was clear that there wouldn’t be space in Boston for everyone.
Croatian big man Ante Zizic was selected with the 23rd overall pick and subsequently stashed by the Celtics. For the 2016-2017 season, the 19-year-old is honing his skills in his home nation, competing for Cibona Zagreb.
As well as French forward Guerschon Yabusele, Boston fans are following Zizic’s every move during his year overseas, hoping to see flashes of brilliance that will translate well to the NBA when he eventually arrives.
