Center – Cody Zeller (2011-2013)
The Indiana native was one of the biggest recruiting wins for Tom Crean during his Indiana tenure and his two seasons in Bloomington were great.
When he arrived for his freshman season, Cody Zeller helped the Hoosiers to a 15-win increase from the prior season, which was the best increase in the NCAA that season.
Despite not advancing past the Sweet 16 during his time at Indiana, Zeller was one of the best big men on one of the best teams in the country both seasons. Averaging 16.1 points, and 7.3 rebounds per game in his 72 career games, Zeller was an All-American and a First-Team All-Big Ten honoree following his sophomore season.
Whether it was his scoring ability on the block, or ability to drive on the defender from the elbow, Zeller had about as well-rounded an offensive game as there was in the early 2010’s.
For his career, Zeller led the Big Ten in player efficiency rating for both seasons, and ranked third in the NCAA in offensive rating (132.1) for his sophomore season.
Despite being a projected top-10 draft pick following his freshman year, Zeller returned to Indiana giving Indiana faithful another great season as the program took a huge step forward in his two years sporting the cream and crimson.
