I remember being quite pleased when the Celtics got Knight from the lakers

Klein, Vrankovic, Montross, Blount, Knight, LaFrentz - none of these big men were fit starters. Maybe Zeller is different - I honestly haven't seen him play enough to even guess one way or the other. But [dang] I hope he is better than Travis Knight.

But [dang] I hope he is better than Travis Knight.Don't forget Tony Battie and Vitaly Potapenko!! Zeller has more potential considering he moves better and seems to have his game figured out already. Knight launched the occasional 3 when he played for the Celtics, which didn't help matters. Not to mention Zeller has another year under his belt before arriving in Boston.
Part of the issue with Travis Knight was how much money he was making

He was never more than a below average back up center. Zeller may end up sucking, but it's a low risk gamble.
