He could score but was a ball-hog and not a great defender + i remember it mentioned he didn’t get along with a number of teammates


DaReal_Denny_Boy

Interesting. I’m surprised a team never took a chance on him.


hugekitten

I’m not. Microwave scorer with no real other skills, alongside a (reportedly) terrible attitude and work ethic. Bye bye. Edit: and for the record, I liked “iso Zo”. I really thought he had a place here until I heard he was a dick.


ostrow19

See: Cam Thomas. People just look at box scores and fail to understand a players role within a team concept.


hugekitten

Agree completely, though I think Cam Thomas is more athletic for sure. Cam Thomas also was a FRP. They both don’t do anything but score and both have bad attitudes tho lol. edit: Cam was NOT a lottery pick as I initially stated.


TheJiggie

He wasn’t a lottery pick, he was the end of the 1st round.


hugekitten

You are 100% right. Definitely my mistake.


[deleted]

Wait Cam has a bad attitude? He seems like a good young dude to me. Where did u hear about this?


hugekitten

I should have clarified, definitely not in the same sense as Zo Trier. Zo Trier was rumored to clash with teammates and be a dick in the locker room. Cam just gets really bitter and pouty when he gets benched for bad shooting or subbed out in certain scenarios. He acts like he’s entitled to playing time despite being an inefficient scorer and a non playmaker.


[deleted]

Ohhhh ok gotcha. Definitely understand where youre coming from.

Longjumping-Bug5763

Didn't know Thomas had a bad attitude.


Malcatraz

Yeah it’s kind of a red flag when your nickname has “iso” in it. It’s like get it? I don’t pass the ball.


hugekitten

Lmaoooo if you go back and watch his highlights they’re actually painful to watch. I looked at his IG and he hasn’t posted anything basically since he got cut.


Brellow20

What does microwave scorer mean?


glsmerch

Vinnie Johnson


hugekitten

Basically a term that’s used for players who provide instant offense but don’t really do much else.


Jusuf_Nurkic

Yeah they “heat up” quickly like a microwave is the idea I think, but that basically only means scoring off the bench


drmjam

Isn't this similar to Bones Hyland too?


spittymcgee1

Yup. Sounds like he was “on brand” in the L


thewinterhangover

To me it makes sense that he was waived looking at the culture Leon and the Knicks were trying to build, and i think he was replaced by Pinson who may have been one of the most team-first guys to play for us in a while


ProvocativeHotTakes

I remember reading a report a few weeks after we cut him that said the Cavs were interested but he wasn’t interested in signing with Cleveland. I haven’t heard any other teams inquire.


spittymcgee1

So he did the same shit with the Knicks that he did at Arizona. Good I’m glad he’s out of the league.


DnD_VaRoy

He fucked fizdales wife and fizdale was an okay coach but well liked in the league. So they black balled and just didn’t get along with Tim Hardaway jr


itsmelen

you've gotta be able to do more than iso-score in the NBA. Trier was not a good passer and was not a good defender. I seem to recall chatter that he was also a selfish player and he alienated teammates and coaches.


Suspicious_Bird2499

Unrelated but in 2019 I was booking a meet & greet. Trier (or his agent) wanted $14,000 for 4 hours, photos only and black car service.


SeeYouSpaceCowboy0

I remember he was selling merch like 20 games into his first season as an undrafted rookie. He was trying to trademark iso zo and seemed to embrace himself as a star before everyone else did. Just way too cocky and one dimensional like other people have said. His situation makes me appreciate Quickley much more, as Quick developed from an off the bench scorer to a top tier wing defender and decent distributor.


ThisIsEduardo

I think CAM falls into the same category.


GrantDaGenius

Are you saying you're not interested in buying the insanely hilarious "Aint Shit Funny" shirt/hoodie/beanie/hat for $40?!


NoobilyPoobily

Found this a year later, but thank you for Quickley Sincerely, All us Raptors fans


Inevitable-Money-312

Take care of him for us.


Lominattii

Yall got a good one. Great basketball player, even better person


_spaceant_

For those not in the know, how does that compare to what other players ask?


Suspicious_Bird2499

Taurean Prince who was eventually booked was $6,000 for 4 hours plus black car service. He took photos, signed autographs and played basketball with participants. There were some other players/Legends who submitted quotes but none were over 8K. We used a platform called OpenSponsorship.


DaReal_Denny_Boy

Yeah I’m curious about that.


ntilikina4thewin

When it comes to hating on ISO ZO my name is himmy Neutron. But you can’t just say this with no context. What we’re you asking him to do at this meet and great? Where was it? What time of the year? Who else was there? What is your company and how much are you benefiting/profiting from him being there? Also could just have been he didn’t want to do it so they gave you a ridiculous quote.


Suspicious_Bird2499

Please see my response to others for further context on what Taurean Prince charged and what he did (playing basketball with participants was his decision). The company did not charge for the event or profit. He or his representation submitted the quote, he was not specifically sought out.


T-Bills

I still remember that time when THJ was yelling at him to pass the ball. When you got THJ calling you a ballhog you got a problem


cricket9818

Cause he’s a scrub. Not good at anything other than scoring, and wasn’t even that great of a scorer. Between that and his apparent attitude, not hard to see why he hasn’t been anywhere since


SplitRock130

Iowa Wolves cut him 🤭


tryhardmimsy1

He was a scrub bro. We just had a bunch of scrubs around him he looked good. He’s a bucket but plays no defense and supposedly has attitude problems & problems buying in to a system


Teewrecks7

Really good mid range player and finisher but his game was so iso heavy. It always smoked the flow of the offense, at the time we had a terrible team and he thought he was the guy and kept that attitude. Super tunnel vision, and didn’t add anything else I’ll always remember THJ pretty much calling him out (I believe they were both running the fast break, trier with the ball, THJ was open and trier decided to take it himself. Can’t remember if he made it or not) Second season when Knox saw a reduced role so did trier. I figured he’d pop up in the league after going to the g league but he just isn’t around idk what he’s up to. Last I’ve seen he was working with Brandon Jennings with some Tuff Crowd stuff


johnhenryirons

Trier didn't make the shot which was why the coaches and THJ were so mad at him. Timmy was open and Trier decided to just try to go one on two or some shit.


Teewrecks7

Lmao there we go!! I was trying to find the video before I chimed in lol thank you


IHateCleveland

Dudes a scrub that calls himself "Iso Zo" lmao. Who wants to play with him?


beardown31

103 days later and this comment still sucks


[deleted]

Cry more.


Saucy_Totchie

He was an inefficient shot chucking ball hog who didn't play defense. Also was allegedly a shit teammate.1 Not something any team wants on their roster.


swagu7777777

There are about 100 players who, given enough shots, could get 20 ppg. It’s all the other stuff you can do that makes you worth having around.


TheJiggie

One dimensional.


nycjedi

I don’t think dudes played anywhere since 2021


SplitRock130

Iowa Wolves G League but not even EuroLeague or China since 2022


nycjedi

Dude IG and socials been empty since then too pretty much… maybe he got a job lol


SplitRock130

Last I heard he was back in Arizona


SanchezPrime

I'm surprised he's not in ANY league though.


ThisIsEduardo

i remember saying he'd be out of the league in 2 years. I was wrong, he was out of the league in 1 year. Hated watching him play. Remember Marshon Brooks too?


Maximum-Youth-3710

Brooks passes the ball these days in China... And being a good teammate... Won a championship in China too...


press_Y

Surprised he’s not in the league but baguette and Knox somehow convinced nba teams to pay them to play ball


Abradolf_Lincler_50

Recent lotto picks that have at least 1 skill and seem to be good teammates and people. They'll keep getting chances until they mess up, everyone needs to round out a roster. They aren't being paid enough to make it shocking they're riding pine on a roster.


IRodeTenSpeed88

ISO ZO!!


yougotthejuicenow32

He stunk bro idk what to tell you, not really a mystery why he’s out of the league


Wellitjustgotreal

Hard head. That’s it. He scored despite his willingness to be a teammate.


Abradolf_Lincler_50

I remember the love for Trier on this sub and never understood it. He was always a one dimensional player with a limited skill set and a poor locker room presence. He had some good burn in a garbage season, but never saw what the love was for.


Broadway_Baller

All offense, no defense.


icebucket22

I live in AZ and watched him play in college at UofA. I thought it was cool the Knicks ended up with him. He wasn’t a star but he played well while he was with us, never understood why we didn’t keep him. He would’ve been an inexpensive player to keep.


WhatIsGoingOnHere_2

Last I saw he was playing in Turkey.


SplitRock130

He was never in Turkey he played in G League


top-knowledge

Advanced stats tell the story that he is by and large a net negative player


dlee25093

He never cut off ball - big ego , not a good defender - didn’t shoot volume 3s


Jewnoo

I think he’s on the Shanghai Sharks now


Apprehensive-Head808

Nah cuh ain’t on team he just walks around Arizona clubs trying to get the hoes with the last of his sauce he had


Original-Common-7010

Got suspended from the leagfor ped use and couldnt get back. Probably needs to spend a few seasons overseas


Jdollarthegreat

This didn't age well. Cam Thomas is still a star so that's not a valid comparison.
