  • 2015-16 stats: 10.5 PPG, 8.7 RPG, 0.8 APG

Chad Ford's Big Board ranking -- No. 40: "Zimmerman is a project -- a major one. But it would be tempting for some teams to take a flier on a mobile, athletic big who can stretch the floor and protect the rim. He wasn't great as a freshman, but the raw tools are there." More (Insider)
