Is Tyler Zeller the most improved player from the 2012 draft class?

Recently, Tom Haberstroh of ESPN provided his scouting reports for the current Celtics roster. In describing Tyler Zeller, Haberstroh wrote that "few players from the 2012 draft have improved more than Zeller."

This was one of the more thought-provoking parts of Haberstroh's piece, if only because it seemed so out of place given how little recognition and attention Zeller receives, especially in comparison to other NBA talent from the 2012 draft. It was also surprising given how little value the rest of the league seemed to place on Zeller, as it was just last summer the Cavaliers traded him to the Celtics with a future first-round draft pick rather than for.
