Cody Zeller Signing Boosts Miami Heat's Frontcourt
The Miami Heat went from being undermanned at the power forward position to an excess of frontcourt players after signing Cody Zeller.
Zeller joins Kevin Love as the Heat's recent power forward signings. Their addition allows starter Caleb Martin to small forward, his natural position.
Here's the official release from the team:
"Zeller last appeared in 27 games with the Portland Trail Blazers during the 2021-22 season and averaged 5.2 points and 4.6 rebounds in 13.1 minutes of action while shooting 56.7 percent from the field and 77.6 percent from the foul line. The former fourth overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft and 2013-14 NBA All-Rookie Second Team selection scored in double figures twice last season while grabbing at least six rebounds 11 times and dishing out multiple assists on three occasions. Additionally, Zeller has appeared in 494 career NBA games (273 starts) averaging 8.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 22.2 minutes while shooting 52 percent from the field and 73.1 percent from the foul line.
Zeller will wear number 44."
