Former Tar Heel Tyler Zeller still ‘Mr. Reliable'

Jared Sullinger said he kept getting stuck in traffic in Boston. But Brad Stevens, who didn’t make a big deal out it, still counted the instances as unexcused tardiness. So there was ol’ Tyler Zeller — ol’ reliable Tyler Zeller. “He's been very reliable,” Stevens said. “He's a very reliable worker and young man.” “I just try to come do my job every day. The NBA is just a job like everybody else’s,” Zeller said. (Durham Herald-Sun)
