Re: 17th Pick - Tyler Zeller

He should be solid. Not sure he's a long-term answer at center, but he'll be a third big on a good team at the very least.

That said, I hate his face. I want to punch him every time I see him. I REALLY hate the fact that I now have to root for him.
 
Re: 17th Pick - Tyler Zeller

I think with both zeller and barnes they might fare better in the pros than in the UNC system, they should be able to display more of their respective games
 
Re: 17th Pick - Tyler Zeller

I like it. Zeller's gonna be a productive center, but he's gotta be patient as he goes through the transition. I see us showing a lot of potential but again landing a lotto pick and getting that playmaker we need to put us over the top...think OKC

Re: 17th Pick - Tyler Zeller

I didnt expect the cavs to keep the second round picks to begin with. good use to move up into the draft.

Ill be happy if Zeller can earn his way on the 2nd unit and allow Sam Sam to play the 4 behind Thompson.

but this is my favorite part about zeller. look at the zip on his passes and tha he does pass.

One byte: Lacob said Ezeli was clearly better than Zeller in their group GSW workout. "He killed him. I mean, he’s much stronger."

From everything I have heard/read, it sounds like Ezeli has elite defensive potential. Supposedly he gave Davis fits as well.

He's also a DISASTER on the offensive end.
 
Re: 17th Pick - Tyler Zeller

The Cavs won't be going to Zeller often for ISO post ups so the Ezuli news doesn't bother me. He will get the majority of his points on put back, running the floor, pick n rolls, and from breakdowns in interior D caused by Kyrie and Dion penetrating.

But against teams with weak post defenders, he can post up and make moves down low.
 
Re: 17th Pick - Tyler Zeller

I see a lot of people want him on the second unit, but I would like to see him start at the 5 with Andy at the 4 or vice versa.
 
Re: 17th Pick - Tyler Zeller

Is it me or are true 7 footers rare? With AV and his hair this could be our side show twin towers. Zellers creepy smile with AV's hair... Oh teams are In for It now.
 
Re: 17th Pick - Tyler Zeller

2) Who is the last senior to come to the NBA and make a big impact?

Don't know if this has been addressed yet, but the ones to immediately come to mind are Roy Hibbert, Danny Green, Landry Fields and Darren Collison.

Then, you have guys that either are or were solid rotation players like Tyler Hansbrough, Toney Douglas, Jason Thompson, Courtney Lee, Al Thornton and Carl Landry.

I don't think the fact that he is a senior should necessarily be looked at as a negative. In general, it seems that seniors taken in the first round have a lower bust potential than underclassmen. You know what you are getting with this guy. Solid pick at 17.
 
Re: 17th Pick - Tyler Zeller

Sounds like Z trying to relive everything through Zeller................minus the foot injuries.
 
Re: 17th Pick - Tyler Zeller

God help us if he comes down with the Cavs injury curse...
 
Re: 17th Pick - Tyler Zeller

Picking Zeller when Sullinger is still available... Thats what I call a terrible move.

Celtics got really lucky with Sullinger, he is going to be one of the best players of this Draft and make GM´s look terrible, including Chris Grant.
