Stephen Zimmerman
C, 7’0, 240lbs, 20 years old, 1 year of experience

Zimmerman spent 21 games on assignment, doing fairly well if not standing out, making a fair few jab-step jumpers and sneaking open on the baseline without creating much beyond that. A rather formulaic post player with a fairly prodigious foul rate at this time, Zimmerman scored OK, boarded OK, and blocked some shots, showing a decent offensive talent level for one so young. But in being weak framed and post-confined, neither a rim protector, nor a one-on-one post defender, nor a perimeter defender, his role is harder to pinpoint unless he gets sufficiently good offensively to get back all that which he gives up.

Player Plan: Unguaranteed minimum salary contracts for both 2017/18 and 2018/19. Worth keeping around for both and developing.
