Without a doubt, Michael Redd was the most important signing for the team to win right now. Bobby Simmons also gives the Bucks a much better chance to get back to the playoffs next season. That being said, at a time where the Bucks are making a handful of moves, we cannot forget about the impact Zaza Pachulia has had and could have if he remains a Buck.
The 6?11?, 265 pound forward/center from the Republic of Georgia has tremendous upside potential. I know I sound like Hubie Brown during a NBA Draft, but it?s true. Zaza averaged around six points and five rebounds in a little less than 19 minutes per game. He is only 21 years old! He doubled his numbers from his rookie season in about seven more minutes a game. Imagine what he could do with more minutes!
That is where the problem starts and ends for Zaza and the Bucks. Zaza claims it isn?t about the money that it is about wanting more playing time. Can we believe him? His girlfriend was found shoplifting early this year, so the money definitely wouldn?t hurt them!
