At the halfway point of their season, the Los Angeles Clippers have exceeded preseason expectations. That is doubly true knowing that Kawhi Leonard<\/a> missed each of their first 34 games and has only appeared in five thus far. At 24-17, the Clippers are in fifth-place in the Western Conference. While James Harden<\/a> and Norman Powell<\/a> have received the majority of the praise this season, center Ivica Zubac<\/a> has been outstanding as well.<\/p>\n

One of the top big men in the league, Anthony Davis<\/a> of the Los Angeles Lakers, has certainly taken notice of Zubac. Davis provided nothing but glowing remarks on the 27-year-old after the two teams squared off on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Anthony Davis Sees The Growth In Ivica Zubac\u2019s Game<\/h3>\n

In the Lakers first ever visit to the Intuit Dome<\/a>, they fell to the Clippers on Sunday by the score of 116-102<\/a>. The game saw Zubac outperform the nine-time All-Star and was a major reason that the Clippers came out on top. The 31-year-old Davis finished with 16 points (on 5-14 shooting) and was a -18 in his 37 minutes. Meanwhile, the 7-foot Zubac dropped 21 points (9-16 from the field) while also adding 19 rebounds and three blocks. The Clippers were a +18 in his 35 minutes.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Joey Linn of SI, Anthony Davis shared his thoughts on Ivica Zubac. Davis said,<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s worked on his post game. That jump hook. He\u2019s always been a good screener. Good roller. Lob threat. Offensive rebounder. Good rim protector. He\u2019s developed his post game, where they\u2019re throwing it to him and he\u2019s finishing with his right hook. He\u2019s added that to his arsenal.\u201d<\/p>\n
