akronzips71 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 The Detroit Pistons just posted this on their official video channel: He is certainly on the Pistons radar. Some people may be shocked how early he goes. An athletic seven footer who knows how to play the game is hard to pass up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legendofzippy Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Provided Zeke winds up on a team by draft or signing after the draft, is anyone else considering switching NBA loyalty to that team? I am, though the Cavs management has a lot to do with that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Green Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 @ZachTheZip, Zeke and Cody Zeller are working out with the Bobcats today. There's news and video here. Near the end of the video I believe that might be Zeke standing at the far end of the court in a dark blue uniform with his back to the camera. It's funny that Zeller is on court with other players, as it was noted in an earlier post in this thread that Zeller's agent had recommended that his client do private team workouts as he did in Portland and not work out against other players. No word on whether or not Zeke and Zeller actually went up against each other during the Bobcats workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 This is what kills me about the big-time sports media. SI's Andy Glockner writes an article entitled NBA Draft 2013: Second-Round Sleepers. I'm looking forward to some surprises. He lists Trevor Mbakwe, Colton Iverson, Jackie Carmichael, Erick Green and Mike Muscala. Every mock draft has these guys listed as solid second round selections, and many sports journalists have written about their NBA potential. They're only "sleepers" to those who don't follow college basketball beyond watching the NCAA tournament championship game. Hint: A sleeper is someone who becomes unexpectedly successful or important after a period of being unnoticed, ignored, or considered unpromising or a failure. Try digging a little deeper, Andy, like maybe a player who's having workouts with nearly half of the teams in the NBA and almost none of the big-time sports media are talking about. Example: BlogLockers.com has Zeke Marshall going to the San Antonio Spurs as the #58 draft selection. The Spurs have one of the best and brightest organizations in the NBA when it comes to evaluating and cultivating sleeper players like Danny Green, who was cut by the Cavs but just set an NBA finals record for 3-point shots made playing for the Spurs.

Dave in Green Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Would love Zeke to go to the Spurs! Don't forget though, they cut Danny Green too. I was aware of that. The important thing is that even though the Spurs cut him, they didn't totally give up on him. San Antonio allowed Green to prove himself at an appropriate level for him at the time, kept a close eye on his development and brought him back once he'd satisfied their expectations. In other words, the Spurs organization played it exactly right. The Cavs let Green go and lost his phone number. If Zeke should be so lucky as to end up with the Spurs, I believe he would get a better opportunity to develop at his own pace than with almost any other team in the NBA.

Maybe he considers Zeke a lock and not a sleeper? After all, Zeke is already a better big than the ones that he listed, and has much more potential too. Just a thought... nothing more... nothing less. Also, although I think that San Antonio is a well run organization with a great coach, I'd love to see Zeke, LeBron and Norris Cole together. That would be a lot of fun, although unlikely. But trades do happen during the draft! San Antonio would make sense though, Zeke would be Tim Duncan's heir apparent. He has all the physical tools for it. Good luck Zeke! Looking forward to the draft! Even if Thursday, June 27th is the night before finals for the first 5 week summer session Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I don't follow the nba much because I think it is such a terrible product, but I took a minute to look at Miami's roster this morning. Lots of rumors that Chris Bosh won't be back next year. If so, Miami will be looking for a starting center. I'm not sure Zeke is a starting center but interesting options open up. Miami has a lot of guys listed as a center or center/forward that back up Bosh. If Miami could sign a starting center and package some of those big guys in trades to fill other holes, it opens up an opportunity for a back up center position. Opportunity knocks for Zeke. The playoff loot alone would be worth Zeke going to Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Watcher Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Regarding the NBA, the only team I watch is the Spurs when they're deep in the playoffs. I think it's about the only franchise built around basketball as a team game. Great finals series btw. I think San Antonio is the kind of place that Zeke would thrive. They have had success rotating centers in and out over the past 15 years, and won with lots of different bigs next to Timmy. The past few weeks have shown a little bit of a weakness defensively when Tim's not in the game. Fact is, the guy is 37. His game is more like he's 32 .. but he can't be playing 40 minutes a night anymore. For Zeke to be a big guy to come off the bench and defend the rim for the Spurs seems to me to be a good fit. The franchise is known for concentrating on what their players CAN DO rather than what they can't. That being said, I'm not sure how he lands there. Seems to me that he'll climb to the middle of the 2nd round. I can't see him dropping all the way to the bottom of the 2nd round. I figure he goes somewhere in the 40's. Good luck to Zeke this next week. Zips got next. B) B) B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipmeister Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I believe the Spurs are in last place in the NBA based on number of tattoos per player. Zeke would fit real good there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
