Boston Celtics Should Increase Tyler Zeller’s Role

With the departure of Jared Sullinger, the Boston Celtics have thinned out their front-court. With Kelly Olynyk recently sidelined due to injury, the main big man off the bench is Tyler Zeller. While he does not provide as much versatility as Olynyk in the shooting department, he is a reliable big man who can rebound and run the floor. The Celtics should look to extend Zeller’s minutes as he has proven his worth.

After playing all 82 games during the 2014-2015 season, while starting most games, Zeller’s role seemingly decreased last season as he only saw 60 games of action while playing just over 10 minutes a game.
