It doesn't look like Zach actually got much playing time, as he not on the floor for any of the other highlights. But I am sure he will be getting more playing time.
 
Actually, the game above was Their 3rd preseason game, and first one that Zach played in.

Here is a page from the team's site introducing Zach after he signed. It has some nice pictures of him.--
