Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe gave further details on Zeller’s deal.

In his two seasons as a Celtic, Zeller averaged 8.4 points and 4.5 rebounds in 142 games. Despite logging only 11 minutes per game last season, the former North Carolina Tar Heel proved to be very effective when given playing time as his “per 36 minutes” stats were at a very impressive 18.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks.

However, with Al Horford manning the middle, the exposure to extended minutes isn’t a guarantee for Tyler Zeller.
