Watch below as former IU basketball star Cody Zeller joined the Beyond the Stands podcast to discuss his induction into the IU Athletics Hall of Fame, and much more.
During his debut season in 2011-12, Zeller earned Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors after leading IU in scoring (15.6) and rebounding (6.6) and helping lead the team to a 27-9 record. IU also earned its first NCAA Tourney invitation in four years and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the first time in a decade.
Zeller’s follow-up performance as a sophomore was even better. He earned second-team All-America honors, averaged team-bests of 16.5 points and 8.0 rebounds and helped lead IU to its first Big Ten title in 11 years, its first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in 20 years, and a second-straight Sweet 16 appearance.
At season’s end, Zeller was selected with the fourth overall pick in the NBA Draft by Charlotte. He spent 12 years in the NBA with five different franchises and averaged 7.9 points/game during his career.
