In less than a week, third-year center Ivica Zubac has gone from an end of the bench player to a fringe starter for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Over his last three games, the 21-year-old is averaging 17.7 points per game on a blistering hot 78.1 percent shooting from the field to go along with an impressive 8.7 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game. One-way tickets to Zu Island are getting harder and harder to come by with each game.
However, Zubac’s resurgence has also caused somewhat of a good problem for the Lakers.
