Not sure if this has been mentioned, but when Zeller came onboard he was lauded as one of the best running bigs in the league. Brandon Wright gives that term new meaning. Kid can fly and has amazing hops. Together Ainge has given Stevens an up tempo duo that most teams will have a lot of trouble keeping up with. Add in Crowder and you have some serious rim rockers on the wings. Nelson and Bass are history.

It'd be a good combo.  Plus I think Olynyk is good at running on the break because of his handles and passing.  But there are other really good big men in transition in the NBA.

KO is also very good at simply getting up the floor for a player of his size.

I think they're players you think about only for their ability to run the floor and hustle.

Both of them really roll hard to the hoop after setting a pick. Doing so should free up open shots for Olynyk on the perimeter (and to a lesser extent Sullinger since I'd rather see him in the post).

I think once Smart becomes better at the pick and roll he will find them for a lot of layups dunks.
