Ivica Zubac (C, LAC) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 110 Overall

CURRENT ADP: 128

ANALYSIS: Ivica Zubac made efficiency his bread and butter last season. For an endangered species, as the pure-center is these days, Zubac was very good putting up 1.17 FP/min in his short playing time of just 18.4 mpg. Zubac, though, played in all 72 Clippers' games through the regular season, and although his low-volume runs entirely cut his total-FP upside, he was still able to make the most of his opportunities.

Zubac did nor will win you any fantasy league because playing less than 20 minutes per game would kill even the greatest of basketball players. Even more, the Clips have added biggie Serge Ibaka to their roster this offseason, who should/could/will eat from Zubac's cake in 2021. That being said, though, Zubac is one of the nicest late-round fliers and end-of-the-bench players you can draft this season.

In just above 18 mpg Zubac was still able to average 8.3 ppg and 7.6 rpg. You might feel the urge to laugh at those numbers, but Zubac posted up those marks while playing the fewest minutes among players that reached them. DeAndre Jordan, who is next on the list, already logged 22.0 mpg, and the average player in that group played 30.8 mpg. Far from a league winner, Zubac can put up more than reasonable point and board numbers for a Clippers team that is loaded and will boost his upside even if he is dropped to the second unit.
