Heading into his fourth season with the Volunteers, Zakai Zeigler is supposed to be an elite (future) NBA prospect from the Tennessee squad.
Last season, Zeigler had 11.8 points, 6.1 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per game. While his rebounds could use some work, his all-around offensive prowess bodes well for the Volunteers as they look to fill the shoes of Dalton Knecht.
Zeigler played alongside Knecht in 2023-24 and led the team in assists as well as steals but could easily replace Knecht in regards to scoring for the Volunteers.
