This guy is a ballhog…everytime someone other player misses a shot who manages to get the ball? Zbo. He has got so many tap back baskets for this team its crazy. You never notice it til you read the box score. 35 points…18 rebounds? Yup a normal night for Zach Randolph.
If he gets hot…he is destroying your teams Power Forward. He is being very unselfish out there on the court. So next time you write an article please dont read preseason notes and watch some Grizzlies basketball kid.

Ask any Memphis fan if they would rather have Pau or Z-bo for equal money and you will get resounding support for Z-bo.
Pau was the epitome of matador defense and never played well in the clutch. Z-bo played a much bigger role this year than his stats indicate. He was a vocal leader for this team. He brings toughness. Pau whined himself all the way to Los Angeles.
If Z-bo continues to give this level of performance (which is a question mark), he is worth the money. People like to watch him play. His defense is moderate, but loves to rebound. Grizzlies fans have missed the offensive garbage since Shane Battier was traded away.
Pau has shined as the second or third option. He never assumed the role of leader. Z-bo seems to cherish being the man, which is what a young Grizzlies team needed.
