Honestly dude is good enough for a spot in the league.
If I was the Sixers I would have signed him before Dedmon 10 out of 10 times
Zeller has made it hard to regret the choice though
Dude went from Bam’s backup to 4th string behind Zeller and Yurt. Not sure what he could possibly do besides find a new team tbh. Loved what he brought though with his limited playing time
The sad part of the NBA, honestly. Zeller, Love, Yurt arriving to take everything he was working for. Orlando not only didn’t do anything wrong, he exceeded expectations and outshined his contract.
The league is a nasty machine and sometimes even good hard working ones get stuck in the cracks. Sometimes Spo also puts them into those cracks eg. Haywood
Orlando, let me welcome you to the Spo experience.
Spo said you wanna play show me why you wanna play……. Nuff said bro, if you ain’t out hustling everyone you ain’t doing shit and the ones up there first they already have their names made so you can’t outdo some hasbeens than idk…anger gets shit done so just keep that inside and keep getting better! He made it this far…
The heat can and should convert his contract to a standard minimum before the last day of the regular season, he’s still very raw but has shown flashes of potential he’s got size and the right attitude
He’s got a future but he’s still raw as fuck. We’re just starving for a backup big that wasn’t Dedmon so a G-Leaguer on a two way seems like we just got prime Shaq lol. Zeller has been calm, that experience will be useful to lean on in the playoffs compared to an inexperienced rookie. And with Yurt coming back too.
No point signing him if we’re gonna cut him later like Chris Silva and all those other guys. Let him take his time to develop, however that may be.
Orlando was truly one of our bright spots for this underwhelming season. Although everyone is tired of undrafted players and how well his productivity will be going, he showed a lot of heart. Wish him the best of luck
