Cody Zeller is featured on the cover of ESPN The Magazine.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (ESPN) – It's a big night for Steve and Lorri Zeller.

Their middle son, Tyler, made his NBA debut Tuesday with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Zeller had five points, a steal, a block and two rebounds in 14 minutes as Cleveland defeated Washington, 94-84. He was the Cavaliers' first-round pick out of North Carolina.

Their oldest son, Luke, made the Phoenix Suns and will make his NBA debut Wednesday against Golden State. Luke played college basketball at Notre Dame.

And their youngest son, Cody, made the cover of ESPN The Magazine as Indiana University begins its 2012-13 season with an exhibition game Thursday against Indiana Wesleyan in Bloomington.

Folks in Washington, Indiana and Daviess County are celebrating these days. All three Zeller boys won at least one state high school title and Mr. Basketball -- and in Indiana, that's bigger than the NBA.
