I agree with most of the sentiments here. But, Nellie is our coach for this year. Why would Nellie play Z anymore than he plays Bradley? Z is a good player on offense, but we've got scorers in Dirk, Fin, Stack, Quis. Z is not Bradley's equal on defense, which is what I want in the center for this team. I'm just not sure how well Z fits into our team. I think he's slow enough that he might bog the offense down. His defense isn't stellar. Plus, those foot problems could resurface. He may be a top 6 center, but I don't think he would be nearly as effective on this team.

I want the Mavericks center this year to be thinking defense first, which is why I would like to see it be played by Bradley and Mbenga play over someone like Z.
He is an offensive guy, so Nellie might play him. He is still 7'3". He is a true Center. He keeps Nellie from moving Dirk to Center. All good reasons for him to be here.
