No, he wasn't. Zoubek was terrible, he was basically a statue. Duke won without a post player basically.
So Zoubek wasnt big? He was almost 7 foot.
He also took charges and would give hard fouls occasionally.
That doesn't mean he's physical though, Gasol is 7 feet, but is he physical? That Duke team did play some in your face D, but it was mostly from the guards like Smith and Scheyer in the press and such.
Gasol has gotten way more physical the last few years, he isnt the same soft pansy as he was.
Im not saying Zoubek is Patrick Ewing, or even a good player. Just that he would give hard fouls inside when it was needed and would play tight defense.
I don't ever remember Zoubek giving a hard foul. He reminded me a lot of Luke Schenscher except Schenscher could actually shoot it.Quote:
