Like what I've seen from Hunter. Fits well in the offense.
It looks like Stevens is using David Lee as a center, basically. Means Zeller is more or less out of the rotation.
Bummer. I'd rather give the minutes to the guy who might be here next season, even if he struggles at first. This is why I was never keen on acquiring Lee.
Zeller expires this year, not entirely convinced that we will be back.
Probably depends on whether anybody else becomes available. But if it's true that we just guaranteed the second year on Johnson, and if Sully and Olynyk keep playing as they have been, then wouldn't surprise me if Zeller doesn't return.
We seem to be heading toward Zeller leaving for nothing.
I think that's a shame, because Zeller showed last season he can be a consistent and reliable contributor as a 20 mpg center in an up-tempo system that allows him to run the floor and gives him plenty of space.
That kind of guy has value in the league. It's not easy to find competent offensive players at that position who can play solid if unremarkable defense.
Lee is just a one year rental. Zeller could be a reliable part of the rotation for the foreseeable future.
