Dima Zdor has been discussed a bit here already, but that was back in February so discussion all got buried pages ago. So I'm multi-quoting the old stuff...

Not much info out there about him. No stars and his 24/7 page had a different school listed

But Zdor does look at first glance to be more naturally suited to play on the interior which is attractive. We’ve got plenty of stretch 4s. A guy who just wants to dunk everything is something we could use on this roster in my opinion.

Lack of offers may stem from the fact that he's not been seen and/or coaches are trying to assess his prospects of actually getting through the clearing house.
Fun Fact: He's Darrelle Revis's cousin.

But right now I put defense, rebounding, screening, shot blocking, passing skills, court awareness, ball security all ahead of dunking for the squad we have.
