Hoosiers coach Tom Crean said that Cody Zeller leads Indiana in deflections, which is the coach's preferred method of measuring defensive effort.

Zeller is also the only player taller than 6-9 whose steal percentage (3.9) appears on kenpom.com's top 100 list.

"I've been really surprised at how active Cody is," Crean said. "He has quick feet, quick hands, and a quick mind."
