Z-Rex: The Cody Zeller Thread

Cody averages 1.8 assists per36, not 2.8, plus turns the ball over more often. Also, McBob's shooting a lot of 3s this season (and making a decent amount). Last season, when he wasn't being asked to play so far from the basket, his FG% was higher.

i said before the draft that i would trade #4 pick for jon henson, not knowing who we were going to pick.

henson has come on strong last few weeks and put up 25pts, 14reb, 6blk, 3stl in a win over the bulls tonight.

so the question is, who would you rather have, henson or zeller?

I'll stick with Zeller. I like Henson, but I still think Zeller has greater upside. I'm not one to be down on rookies, especially those from a pretty weak class. Henson is also two years older, who knows what Cody will look like at 23

Easily John Henson, but Cho should've just drafted Nerlens Noel 8-)

I'm sorry. I just had to throw that in

I think the Bucks would be willing to trade John Henson for Bismack Biyombo & the Portland pick, but I wouldn't do it if I was Cho

Zeller is already equal or even a little better than McBob and he is in the middle of adjusting to the NBA, he'll start next season and average solid numbers

Those are good numbers for Zeller, why BRD refuses to play him more than 13-15 minutes a game I can't understand. I never understood why we re-signed McBob in the first place..

Cody Zeller ‏@CodyZeller 42m

My mom just told me that I was in a commercial during the VS fashion show. Isn't that like the Super Bowl? The commercials are the best part

the best thing about zeller so far is his twitter account. lols.

Post #1030 » by **fatlever** » Wed Dec 11, 2013 4:48 am

for the record, i wasnt really trying to dump on zeller. everyone knows i was very happy with that pick. its just that i am a huge henson fan and i was a little surprised that more people did think as highly of him this summer when i mentioned him for our pick, not that the bucks would have done that deal.

im just glad i snagged henson in my dynasty league.

I did like resigning McRoberts because he is an absolute bargain, and Zeller needs to be eased in a little until he gathers some strength in the offseason.

I can agree with that but the other night with MKG and Taylor out he still only played 14 minutes and that is just ridiculous.

McRoberts had a pretty good game Monday with 11.10. and 6. McRoberts is the better player right now, and he deserves the minutes. Zeller will be the better player eventually, but that isn't right now.

Bogut gathers off two feet before jumping directly into Zeller with his body and slaps his right hand and knocks the ball loose, which puts Zeller off balance and sends him crashing to the floor.

It's a foul.

Yes you listed an exception but the exception applies if he didn't break the rules listed above (which Bogut did)

You need to either A) take your homer glasses off or B) brush up on your reading comprehension skills and go over that nba rules page again. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, you have me exasperated on how you cannot see how that is just a textbook block by Bogut. Zeller crashed to the floor b/c he has a really high center of gravity combined with being awkwardly coordinated and a pantywaist, he gets knocked to the floor by gentle ocean breezes.

its a good block. i dont want to live in a world where bogut's block is a foul.

MasterIchiro · Post #1036 » by **MasterIchiro** » Wed Dec 11, 2013 8:10 pm

I felt proud Zeller at least showed aggression on that play. He made up his mind early and went up and challenged Bogut in the paint. It was more ballsy than any play we've seen from him thus far. So there's improvement there that should be recognized regardless of the embarrassing result.

Can Zeller shoot 3s? I want to see him try after watching Nicholson and Davis hit them on us tonight. He should have it in his arsenal.

Eoghan · Post #1038 » by **Eoghan** » Thu Dec 12, 2013 3:01 am

I think I've seen him hit like one corner three his entire career at Indiana. He's struggling enough with his 18 footers as it is. His form is not that great honestly. Needs more arc and he shoots it beside his head. Hopefully he can work those kinks out over the summer.

His shot not uglier than Nicholson's. But then again Nicholson has arc in his fugly shot.

The only glaring negative I have noticed from Zeller's shot is how slow it is. By the time he catches the ball, gathers and shoots, its noticeably slower than the league average. Even that's not a huge deal seeing as he is 7 foot. I would rather see him do what he was doing last night, using some quickness to get around his defender and score in the paint. If he can get good at that, Clifford can stop being an idiot and bringing him out of the game when he playing as well as he was
