00:00 Paul George sees a great future with Evita Zubac.
00:05 Zubac was the topic of conversation because of the fact that he had a perfect game against the Dallas Mavericks.
00:12 In 20 minutes, he put up 21 points, 15 rebounds on a perfect 10 for 10 from the field.
00:18 He's always been considered one of the more underrated players because he doesn't get that much playing time.
00:23 And a lot of times Montrezl Harrell finishes the games over him.
00:26 But despite that, everybody knows and sees the upside with him.
00:31 George said, "Zu is like a little brother. He's got a ton of upside. He really has tons of potential and he can do a lot of things. I've seen it."
00:39 And he said, "He expects a lot from him. He just wants the best with him. And his job is to try to help him and get him to that next level."
00:47 And it's interesting with Zubac because he's come a long way.
00:50 If anyone remembers, he was that throwaway piece for Magic Johnson in the Mike Muscala trade and basically gave him away for nothing and said he wasn't really worth that much.
01:01 And it was something that Jerry West apparently laughed about when it happened.
01:06 Now, when the Clippers granted him that four-year, $28 million contract, it came with expectations.
01:13 And now Paul George has that expectation for him, Kawhi Leonard does, and so far Zubac has stepped up to the plate.
