Ha! Beat me to it! His teammates finally found out what happens when you get him the ball. Myles Turner couldn’t stop him and Wiseman (a former #2 overall), can’t stop him.
How long until we hear “B1G refs…errr NBA refs bail him out all the time!”Showing the world what we already knew. Zach is going to make a boatload of money.
“Three seconds!! Offensive foul!!”How long until we hear “B1G refs…errr NBA refs bail him out all the time!”
Myles played the 4 some back when Domas was still here. Too slow to stay with most 4s on the perimeter, so one of them had to go… worked out pretty well.I sure wished the Pacers could have gotten him. Myles would be a load at the 4 and that team is a contender.
Wemby’s taller and better !I think the goal posts keep moving until people start saying that he isn’t better than Shaq.
Wemby will get eaten alive on the defensive end giving up almost 80 pounds!Wemby’s taller and better !
“yeah uh well, Wemby and Jokic are way better”Wemby’s taller and better !
Can’t wait to see itWemby will get eaten alive on the defensive end giving up almost 80 pounds!
Do we even know who can stop him defensively??Getting better and better every game. Because all the big guys kind of died out there's almost no one left who can stop him.
Maybe the 82 game season.Do we even know who can stop him defensively??
He will conquer that too!Maybe the 82 game season.
Where’s that one yahoo “analyst” who said it was one of the worst picks she’s ever seen???At this point, it appears that some of the draft analysts are going to have to acknowledge completely missing on this one.
Watching the Pacers’ complete lack of an answer for Edey reminded me of watching the Cowboys try to defend Derrick Henry and the Baltimore Ravens’ power running games a few weeks ago. The Cowboys’ defense was so undersized and geared towards containing the pass that they had no answers to the Ravens’ old school approach. (Then the Lions also did the same thing to them this past Sunday).

I was going to ask the same. She must feel pretty foolish right now -- if she has any sense at all.Where’s that one yahoo “analyst” who said it was one of the worst picks she’s ever seen???

Myles has never been a true traditional center. he's gotten bigger and stronger and that's helped, but big physical centers have been destroying him for years. Pistons (past) Andre Drummond wouldn't play for 4 games than play major minutes against the pacers and have 20+ rebounds. Lots of 30pt games against him by any strong post player. Year after year.At this point, it appears that some of the draft analysts are going to have to acknowledge completely missing on this one.

Wiseman is a straight bum/bust. I would of hoped he dominated him!And Vucevic? Wiseman?
Guess we have to wait for Zach to play more starters then so ppl can be convinced and move the goalposts again and again!Wiseman is a straight bum/bust. I would have hoped he dominated him!
He's so much quicker and better than a year ago its amazing.It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Nobody gave Zach anything he earned it.
To add, this is his rookie season. He will encounter certain challenges for the first time, of which he would / will learn from. One certain challenge is overcoming the rookie foul whistle. And as mentioned, playing twice as many games with the corresponding increased travel will be a toll he has yet to face. Lastly, avoiding and/or being able to play through the sure to come, nagging injuries from the very physical NBA game, will need to be managed. It will be his rookie year, a learning and getting up to speed, season of which should be kept in mind with our expectations of him for this year.I think there will be some games where he can’t keep up with the opposing 5 and that team will exploit it. I also think there is going to be a lot of games where he just dominates because the opposing team can’t stop him.
Regardless, really cool to see him excel when so many doubted.
PS the latest goal post moving is “it’s just preseason games”
