Nicknamed "Big Handsome", Cody Zeller completed his first eight seasons with Charlotte before signing with Portland as a Free Agent in 2021.

While Zeller will never be confused for a flashy player, he has proven to be certainly capable and is often praised for his unselfishness and dedication to team play. A cerebral player, Zeller rarely makes mistakes, and his likability usually hides the fact that maybe he hasn't reached the level that should be expected of a fourth overall pick. However, he did prove himself as an asset, posting three double-digit years in Points.

He played 467 Games with Charlotte.
