Over the past few years, I feel like Cody Zeller has been underrated by many around the league. The Charlotte Hornets center has struggled to stay healthy, but when he is on the court, he makes a big impact that goes beyond the stat sheet most of the time. He’s been a really important piece.
Now 26 years old and entering his seventh season in the NBA, the Hornets are going to need him to be even more important as they transition into life without Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb, who were the teams two leading scorers from last season.
