CODY ZELLER
First I am going to include a table showing Cody Zeller?s Physical Attributes, and then how those compare to the average player of his general height and weight.
Name Height Inches no Shoes Height Inches w/shoes Weight Body Fat Hand Length Hand Width Wingspan Inches Reach in Inches No Step Vert Reach in Inches Max Vert Reach in inches No Step Vert Max Vert Bench Agility Sprint
Cody Zeller 83 84.25 230 4.8% 8.5 10.5 83 106 142 143.5 35.5 37.5 10.82 3.15
|
Now this is how those relate to other players of his general height and weight
Name Weight > than standard (in lbs) Body Fat < than Standard (as a % of BF) Reach > than standard (in inches) Wingspan > than standard (in inches) Vertical > than standard (in inches) Speed > than standard (in sec) Agility > than standard (in sec)
Cody Zeller -10 -3.15% -4.24 -4.16 9.53 0.12 0.84
|
So Cody Zeller?s weight relative to his height means he weighs 10 lbs less than an average player of his height. His reach is 4.24? less than ?average?, his wingspan is 4.16? less than average, but his no step vertical is 9.53? greater than ?average?, he did the ? court sprint 0.12 seconds faster than ?average?, and did the agility drill 0.84 faster than average. In short for a player of his general size Cody Zeller has poor to very poor length, but he is very good to exceptional athletically.

Overall Cody Zeller will be a league about a league average player for his first 3 NBA seasons. He will be a highly efficient offensive player (112.3 Points per 100 possessions, 15.4 points per 36 minutes, 53.4% true shooting %), but a very poor defensive player (allow 111 points per 100 possessions). He will be a slightly below average rebounding big man, but will have a reasonable number of blocks, and will not be overly foul prone.
