Zuby “Beast II”
- Thread starter paultzman

I don’t think people realize what Zuby does to opponents. An absolute monster on the offensive glass, and then on defense, teams think the best way to beat a team that switches everything is to get one of their wings with a center on them.
a wing hasn’t beat Zuby off the dribble in like 2 months. Maybe that’s not 100% true but it certainly feels like it is.
The impact he has on both sides of the ball is unreal. AND for all the complaining about his FT shooting, he ends the game 7-11. You take that from your center EVERY TIME

At least since Obekpa
His perimeter defense is beyond words. I can’t remember a single drive that he’s been beaten so bad that he couldn’t potentially alter the shot. Guys don’t even really challenge him anymore unless the lane is wide open.
There is no comparison. Obekpa sold his soul to go for every block. When he missed the block he left us badly out of position. Zuby is never in bad position and still comes up with blocks and leaves himself in position to rebound.
It was a Joke
Marillac went for the block and left himself off of position
About ten mInutes left in the 2nd he got switched onto Jones, knocked his dribble loose, forces him to give it up, and then runs the court for a dunk. He’s unbelievable
It’s him alone at the top nationally for perimeter defense at the five. There is nobody else close.
Mainman and Moose get me every time.Marillac went for the block and left himself off of position
And there is no better guard in the country than Kadary at switching into the paint.
The drive and jump stop layup in second half was taking candy away from a Shaka.
I can name one. RUBEN PREY!
SJU must have hoarded them. I am a bit spoiled with Zuby, but the growth of Prey on the defensive end is impressive.
The kid has good feet and switches very well. Who would have thought a freshman from Europe, where defense is not a major factor, can clamp down on a future NBA player like Kam, and force him into a bad shot.
Get that, but Zuby does it playing iron man minutes. Love Prey & hope the Vince option expires unless an emergency
Don't get me wrong one bit. Zuby is much better. But Prey's minutes last night -- both in the first and second half -- were huge in being able to maintain the defense against the P&R. He is so impressive out there from a footwork/defense/rebounding perspective, and it's a massive advantage to have that level of defense off the bench. Next year can be really really exciting.
wonder what the practices are like with both of them gong at it? what an education for Ruben.
