This was from Seth Davis's Hoop Thoughts column yesterday:

We used to think of a “zone buster” as someone who can make outside shots. Now, thanks to Jim Boeheim, today’s zones are designed to stretch out and lock down on 3s. So the real zone buster is a big player who can find space in the middle, be strong with the ball once he catches it and either score or make smart passes as the zone collapses.
It feels like we have been better against zones this year, and I think Krutwig is a big reason why. Pretty handy to have a guy who is 6'9 and can catch it and make plays from the free throw line.
