Charlotte Hornets: Cody Zeller

Entering his fourth season in the NBA, Cody Zeller has shown glimpses of the potential that he often showcased during his time in college.

At 7-foot, Zeller is a big who can run the floor better than most at his size, which makes him valuable in today’s game. In addition, Zeller puts his explosiveness to use when he attacks the rim or skies for rebounds.

With Al Jefferson‘s departure this offseason, Zeller has big shoes and minutes to fill. Although this will be his fourth NBA season, he is only 23 years old and still has the potential to grow a lot in the NBA.

Look for Zeller to expand his game and be a key asset to the Charlotte Hornets this season.
