The Boston Celtics let one fringe player in Jared Sullinger walk, but they decided to hang on to another fringe front court player in Tyler Zeller. After last season, it comes as a surprise to see him returning to the Celtics but expecting any kind of significant role in the NBA this season would be far too optimistic.
Zeller is coming off of a disastrous season on every level. He was expected to be a breakout candidate but regressed in every way. He lost an edge he had on the offensive end, and he continued to be a liability on defense, against even the weakest of competition.
