Zinger just had easily the best offensive season of his career. 20 points per game at nearly 58% true shooting with high usage ain’t bad at all. He’s usually at about 55% true shooting, so that’s a meaningful leap forward. He even looks better on offense — much better and quicker elevation in his post game, for example. It’s kind of inexplicable to me how he can show increased athleticism on offense while it’s decreased defensively. I was in the trade Zinger camp because it seemed he didn’t want to be here and wouldn’t accept his role, but Im starting to think that’s mostly just hype. After all, whatever role this is, just produced the best offensive numbers of his career. It’s an enigma. The injury issue and the defensive fit with Luka are real problems though. I can go either way at this point. It’s a reasonable risk to hold on to him for awhile to see if he can build his trade value to 85% on he dollar.
