Rocco Zikarsky has appeared in 4 NBL games during the 2024-25 season so far and has averaged 11.5 minutes per game. How has he been producing in these minutes?
Rocco Zikarsky is a name that has been atop 2025 NBA Draft boards for years now, thanks to consistently dominant production in similar-aged competitions and his debut in the NBL last year at just 17-years-old. After averaging 16.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 5.2 blocks per 36 minutes on 59.7% shooting from the field for the Brisbane Bullets last year, Zikarsky was widely considered a top-five prospect coming into this season.
The good news is that there may be a simple explanation for these early-season struggles: injuries. Zikarsky is reportedly actively recovering from an ankle injury, and isn't yet 100%. That checks out with the film too, where he looks a tad less explosive vertically compared to years prior. One thing that has positively popped with Zikarsky so far is his spatial awareness that shows itself in two areas: his playfinishing and offensive rebounding. He's active finding open pockets of space for dumpoffs, which pairs awesomely with being a massive target at 7-foot-3 with a 7-foot-6 wingspan.
