Cody Zeller on upcoming free agency: ‘I want to win’

This summer comes as new territory for Hornets center Cody Zeller as he’s set to hit the free agent market for the first time in his eight-year career.

But, what exactly is the former No. 4 pick of the 2013 draft looking for in his potential destination? Zeller appeared on a recent episode of ‘The Woj Pod’ with ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and spoke on his desire to play for a winner.

“I think as I look at free agency, first of all, I want to win. I think it aligns with what I bring to the team and what I stand for,” Zeller said.

“In my mind, a team that’s top-four in their conference, they’re playing for home-court advantage, they aren’t playing to make the playoffs — they’re playing for home-court advantage and then anything can happen once you get in the playoffs.”
