ANALYSIS: Although the Hornets' frontcourt is crowded with Roy Hibbert, Frank Kaminsky and Spencer Hawes all in the mix, Cody Zeller made room for himself by playing pretty well. With Hibbert playing just 16 minutes per game and Hawes sitting out four of the last five, it seems obvious that Cody Zeller is the No. 1 option for the center position in Charlotte. In four games last week, Zeller averaged 11.0 PTS on 51.4 FG% and 75.0 FT%, with 7.5 REB, 1.0 AST, 0.8 STL and 1.8 BLK. He is set as the primary big in Charlotte, and if he keeps playing this well, no amount of competition is going to change that. His ownership is likely to increase quickly, so if you're in need of boards and defensive stats, go grab Zeller now.
