It's decision time for Zeller and Sullinger, who are restrictred free agents.
Zeller really dropped off the radar this year, while being heavily used the year before.
Sullinger has done a good job of rebounding, providing some buckets, and I even give him credit for his defense against stationary big men (like Dwight Howard).
We really have a lack of 7 footers on the team, but is that enough warrant to keep Zeller, who is a soft player, a poor rebounder and defender, whose beneficial traits are being mobile and scoring from mid range?
Sullinger is a bit harder to gauge because he's a good rebounder and has more effect on the defensive end. He shows some range on his jumper, but we've given up on the 3 point experiment (for now I guess, until he shows marked improvement in his accuracy).
For Sully, I think its more about cost vs. how much more he'll provide than Jordan Mickey (who I think is ready for playing time this season, and probably a starting spot next year).
