Four games in and Cody Zeller has been playing on another level for the Charlotte Hornets. Despite a 1-3 start, fans can look at the bright side about things, as Zeller has been playing very well for the Hornets.

Zeller has started this season by picking up three double-doubles. Hes not played all four games because he missed the second game of the season against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to personal reasons.

So far this season, Zeller is averaging 16.0 points and 13.0 rebounds per game. Hes also averaging 30.3 minutes per game; the amount of playing time hes received is a career-high.

Cody Zeller has also has made four three-pointers so far this season, and hes shooting 44% from beyond the arc. Zeller is also close to surpassing the number of threes he made last season (he made only six).

Zeller is averaging new career-highs in many categories so far, and he seems just to get better each game. His play has surprised many fans after the ammount of playing time that hes recently missed.

Out of the past two seasons, Zeller has missed 82 games due to various injuries. Fans are hoping that they can keep Zeller on the court since hes averaging these career-high numbers.

The amount of effort that Zeller gives when hes on the court is unmatched. In the teams loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, Zeller took a hard shot to the face by Anthony Davis, got stitches, and then got right back on the court.

To me, hes a warrior when hes on the court, and his health is essential for his future success this season. If Zeller can remain healthy, he can potentially finish this season with new career statistics.

Its exciting to see Zeller finally show what hes worth after he re-signed with Charlotte in 2017 on a $56 million deal. The veteran is set to become an unrestricted free agent following the 2020-21 season.

Zeller has a chance to break more personal records on Wednesday night against the Sacramento Kings. Its safe to say that Zeller will be the best center playing between the two teams, as the Kings frontcourt is not as good as last season.
