Center: Cody Zeller

With the departure of Al Jefferson, Zeller is set to be the team’s starting center this season. He started 60 games last year due to Big Al’s injuries but Cody will now be the main man down low for the team. His performance last season showed that he was capable of being a starting level center in the NBA.

Zeller’s overall rating in 2K16 finished at 76 after an up-and-down season. Coming off of a career season, he should see a small boost in his overall rating this year. Cody had career highs in points per game, blocks per game, rebounds per game, and shooting from the field.

Although the bump in his overall rating won’t be drastic, it will be enough to make a top-25 center in 2K17. Zeller was barely a top-40 center last year. If he can continue his production in an expanded role, Cody should see a jump in his rating throughout the season.

2K17 Predicted Rating: 77
