We could have gotten Derrick Williams, Jason Thompson, or even a future pick in addition to Zeller. Same way I felt with MKG last year.

Zeller will have a better career than Noel and McLemore.

Edit: And he isn't a center so..

No comment on Zeller. I will forever call him "Big Bird" though ... because... well, you know.

Disappointed we couldn't trade back and make the same pick.

But hey! I'm really excited our pick can play in the summer league and get a full summer of practice.

This Zeller pickup at #4 is blah. I would've rathered watching McBob try to become our franchise PF instead of wasting a top 5 pick on a player that will never be more than serviceable.

Zeller is an elite athlete with a 7 foot, pro frame. I think he will be a good NBA player. But we could have had this guy at #9 or #10. Bad pick for the Bobcats.

Eh, it's much better than taking Noel.
