The Charlotte Bobcats have selected Cody Zeller with the fourth overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft.
Thought to be a shoo-in for first overall pick at the start of his sophomore season at Indiana, Zeller still had an impressive season at center, but a few weaknesses showed. Zeller averaged 16.5 points and 8 rebounds, and stands 7' 0" and 230 pounds. But one of those weaknesses is physicality, and many believe that Zeller can't play center in the NBA and will have to transition to power forward. The good news is that Zeller is fairly athletic for his size and shouldn't have too much trouble moving from five to four. He will need to improve his mid-range jumper to do so, but defensively he is a much better fit there.
