Cody Zeller is one of the least exciting players on of the least exciting teams in the league. For how athletic he is, he only rarely dunks on people, the only thing that could possibly get him noticed. He doesn’t have any fans. Even Indianans have forsaken him.
Despite his anonymity, he remains a good role-player for the Hornets. Maybe even a great role-player. A good pick-and-roll big, one who doesn’t just want to stand around the perimeter and brick wide open threes (bonus points if you can figure out who I’m talking about, no, it’s not Frank Kaminsky, nope, definitely not). He scored 19 unexciting points tonight, doing nothing but being spoon-fed at the rim by his teammates. I’m getting some Tiago Splitter vibes from him, which isn’t a good thing at all, because that dude might be even less cared-about than the Zell Master.
