Summary:
Zakai Zeigler is an agile, skilled point guard that currently plays for Tennessee. He is a steady playmaker that can rack up assists and has been very productive in college, but he’ll need to be a more consistent shooter and will need to show NBA teams that he can consistently guard taller, upper-echelon opponents in games. Currently, he projects into a backup point guard role at the NBA level.
