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.

    • Will be interesting to see how the Caps adjust. They were thoroughly beaten in this game despite it going to OT and they knew it by getting chippy. If they lose game 2 they’re in a hole they might not be able to dig themselves out of. They played old and tired tonight and I think they might get swept. 
    • He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from. 
    • Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
