The Los Angeles Lakers got to see their center of the future at his best on Friday when they hosted the New Orleans Pelicans at Staples Center. No, I’m not talking about Anthony Davis: I’m, of course, talking about the one and only Ivica Zubac.
To the displeasure of most Lakers fans, Zubac made his first start of the season against Davis and the Pelicans with JaVale McGee (respiratory infection) sidelined. Not only did Zubac do a decent job on Davis, but he got it done on the offensive end as well.
