As a freshman so far in Indiana Zeller has shown he has a ton of skill. He is a very mobile and active big man, a shade under 7-0, but nonetheless a talented prospect. On the block he is very skilled and has advanced footwork. He uses his athleticism to move around the less mobile, stiffer big men and his size to score over the smaller defenders.

So far Zeller has exceeded any and all expectations as a freshman. He has become not only one of the Nation’s top freshmen and centers, but arguably one of the best overall players.

The younger Zeller is likely coming back to Indiana next year and it will be for the better. He is projected as a lottery pick by most outlets, but he will be a project with those projections. He has the ability (see Meyers Leonard this year) to improve his strength and develop his game in another year of college. In the end Cody should be the better of the brother.
