2016 Draft Workouts!

[stitches]

BTW the pronunciation of Zizic is not correct on that media sheet. Both Zs are pronounced like the J in Dejounte and the C is pronounced like Ch in Cheese. So many American announcers and pundits have trouble with ex-Yugoslavian names. The short cut is - if it ends on -ic(Mirotic, Dragic, Zizic) or -oc(Kukoc) read the C like CH...

I just read that Furkan Korkmaz is flying to USA to workout with several NBA teams. Are the Jazz among these teams?

I hope so. Right now, he's the guy I'm hoping they take at #12. Not sure if he'll even get that far once he starts working out.

Love Zizic. Total badass. Great potential to be a guy that people regret passing on. Glad the Jazz are working him out. I'm not very impressed with the star quality of this draft, but there's a lot of guys that I like in it. Not really anybody that I outright hate the idea of the Jazz drafting.

Worth pointing out - Utah added a Serbian coach to help them with pre-draft workouts.

I wouldn't be surprise if the Jazz took Ante Zizic at #12. He seems like a high motor/energy type of player. I would be cool with it too, I guess. Euro players have been bringing it lately.

Language or ??

Zizic's passing ability is Kanter like, other than that, great prospect.

I might like Zizic a tad more than Sabonis, just because he plays a bit faster and looks a bit longer.

I agree, he's a bit taller and more athletic.

I would guess mainly intel on prospects + possibly language. He's probably watched all of the prospect in the Adriatic league and in the Serbian championship - Zizic, Zubac, Zagorac, Luwawu...

DX calls him a good passer.

significantly longer. 7'3" wingspan to 6'10" of Sabonis.

"Zizic's lack of finesse is perhaps most notably demonstrated in his passing ability, which is extremely unrefined to say the least right now. He looks like a bull in a china shop at times, dishing out just 14 assists in 629 minutes on the season thus far, or one every 45 minutes he's on the floor. Compare his paltry 4.9% assist percentage with his very high 19.5% turnover rate, and it's safe to say he is somewhat of a black hole at this stage of his development." - DX

Good call, dumbass.
