Nobody has more three's in a game then steph, klay and zach so actually zach is a shooter and he needs to act like he's one of the greatest shooters the game has seen
i agree totally different team with him on the floor and they gave him all the pieces he needed
I think he was our starting PG and a good one. An important role. I think even with Ball the Bulls are a first round exit that first season, though. Our "hot start" was just that and not sustainable, teams were figuring us out. We took the East by surprise. 'Zo was good but not a Superstar or even an All Star. Billy wasn't using him right, either. We were more settled with 'Zo…and focused. But let's not kid ourselves. It was a new team and half baked. Matt Thomas, Tony Bradley, Troy Brown, DJJ. Tyler Cook, Malcolm Hill. A still developing Ayo and Coby…and an injured PW. That sound like a winning team? Maybe. A "regular season" one. The Bulls were and are good…but 'Zo or no 'Zo and that first season was just a start. A fully healthy 'Zo means maybe we get a few more wins give or take and we go into last season feeling more optimistic. And maybe we get different pieces to build with going into next season. Who knows what might have happened? But it's all water under the bridge now.
So was the team built around him? Sure, why not. Let's say he was the centerpiece. This team needed a PG, he was available. And a good one. But not the only one that can run the offense. This season Carter and a more mature Coby will fill 'Zo's shoes just fine. Are they at 'Zo's level? Nope. But they'll have to do.
I think the team was built around Zac, but true stars will rise to the top and as the season progressed you start to see who you true difference makers are. I think the Bulls were the sum of 8 or 9 players. Zac was scoring but a lack of scoring could be made up as long as the defense was there. We had 2 players that could play defense at the point of attack…Zo and Alex, but Zo brought the ability to not only defend all over the court but now he was a threat from deep. With killers on your team like Zac and Demar he had a chance to make wide open 3sss and he was cash money. When we lost Zo we had member that could do some of what Lonzo brought to the table but not all. This spelled doom for the team as it lost its defensive identity with Lonzo and Alex both hurt. The team never regained its spark or chemistry and since then have been average.
Lonzo really just wanted to win. I feel like Dbo and Zach sometimes only care about their stats and making individual plays
brodie, i don't think he's coming back next year, i think he's done 😞
Great topic Cdubb of all the bulls content creators I wanted to see who would make a video out of him sayin that, another thing I thought was crazy was when he said that, he made it sound like he wasn't comin back to the bulls because of him sayin it would be one of the biggest what ifs and him feelin bad for the gm why feel bad for the gm if ur planning on playing with Zach DeMar and Vucevic still, honestly if and when Lonzo comes back we might have a completely different team.
I think the Bulls record tells the whole story. They were number one with him and fell to the play in without him.
