Tyler Zeller Drafted by Dallas at 17 and Traded to Cleveland

Posted Jun 28, 2012
Tyler Zeller remaining on the board this long is surprising, indeed. A big man with his type of speed you'd think would be a hot commodity in the pros. Tonight, however, he was overlooked quite a bit, and wasn't taken until the 17th pick when the Dallas Mavericks took him off the board. Zeller was then traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers, for the 24th, 33rd, and 34th picks. (Carolina March)
