STRENGHTS WEAKNESSESS
  • adequate size for a center standing at 208cm without shoes. Fairly solid frame especially in lower body
  • hard working on the court. Really willing to make a dirty work. May be underestimated by others and make them pay for that
  • tremendous rebounding effort. Throws his body around and dives for every loose ball
  • has mostly basic post game but can get really crafty at times with his oldschool moves. Possess very solid footwork and ability to finish with unusual shoots
  • smart player. Makes himself avaiable around the rim during penetrations
  • far from being polished but you may see some flashes of ball handling and mid range jumpers. May provide more and more with time for a role type of player
  • amazing experience level for the age group 
  • sometimes tries to take his game a bit outside but mostly hits the walls while driving or throw bad passes off the dribble
  • hits some old fashioned hook shots but his overall touch can be erratic
  • needs to push his athleticism to the limit to be as efficient in his role as possible in modern basketball. Lateral movement could be better since defense is where you count the most on him 
OUTLOOK
Nikola Zizic is a player with oldschool flavour. Thanks to him you will no longer feel nostalgic while reminiscing your favourite role players on the center position from the 90s. He is definitely not a freak athlete or type of player you will see on the video with Top 10 plays. However you may find him running on the floor among top athletes doing all those little things that can help others to score or make a highlight reel type of play. He displays good attitude and gives you consistently much bigger contribution that boxscore could suggest.
