Zeller makes All-Rookie 2nd Team


Recommended Posts

Congratz to Zeller, hopefully he takes a Dirk level jump in his second season. Just compare the rookie numbers.. 

 

 

Dirk averaged 8 ppg and 3.4 rebounds and shot 40% from the field. Then averaged 17 points in his second season. 

Zeller averaged 6ppg and 4 rebounds while shooting 43% from the field. ...............

The bad news: Charlotte passed over four players on the NBA All-Rookie First Team.

Those guys are all older, & 4 of them played big minutes on 4 of the worst teams in basketball. The other is Mason freaking Plumlee, who played a ton for Brooklyn. Zeller & Plumlee have an identical Per 36. The difference? Mason is already 24 years old & is not gonna get any better.

Cody Zeller is a young, elite prospect. Just 2 years ago the very same people bashing him were saying Charlotte needed to tank so they could draft Cody #1.

Per 36-

Zeller, 21- 13 pt, 9 reb, 2 ast, 2 to

Plumlee, 24- 15 pt, 9 reb, 2 ast, 2 to

Burke, 21- 14 pt, 3 reb, 6 ast, 2 to

Hardaway, 22- 16 pt, 2 reb, 1 ast, 1 to

Williams, 22- 17 pt, 7 reb, 7 ast, 4 to

Oladipo, 22- 16 pt, 5 reb, 5 ast, 4 to

Charlotte wouldn't trade Cody for anybody else in last year's draft right now.

I would trade him for Dipo in a heartbeat.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
