Tyler Zeller hoping to grow into starting role

Posted Jan 24, 2013
Although he shot just 2-of-10, Tyler Zeller grabbed 10 rebounds in Tuesday’s win over the Boston Celtics and now has 24 in his past two games. He is averaging 11 in his past three games. Zeller still has a long way to go in both game and stature, but he has adjusted nicely since Anderson Varejao fell out of the lineup with his knee injury. (Akron Beacon Journal)
