CODY ZELLER (ATL)
SALTY DOG
NBA ROLE: BACKUP PIVOT
Cody Zeller is a veteran 7-footer who crashes the o-boards & runs the floor in transition; Zeller's shown he belongs on the glass, mixes it up down low; decent jump shooter with room to improve out on the perimeter – you don’t realllly want Cody to fall in love with deep Js, though he needs to have a (straightaway or corner) 3 ball in his back pocket; counted on for rebounding in short stretches; not much of a defender but Zeller does a decent job of rotating and covering the rim on the weak side; better suited as a five – needs to work on scoring on the left block & facing up on the elbow; signed w/ Hawks (2024): Zeller’s provides frontcourt insurance off Coach Snyder’s bench
