Lucas Joseph Zeller (born April 7, 1987) is an American-Georgian former professional basketball player. He is the brother of NBA players Tyler and Cody Zeller, and the nephew of former NBA player Al Eberhard.
Zeller attended Washington High School in Washington, Indiana where he played for the basketball team all four years under coach Dave Omer. As a freshman in 2001–02, he averaged 15.3 points and 8.0 rebounds per game, and as a sophomore in 2002–03, he averaged 18.1 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. As a junior in 2003–04, he averaged a near double-double with 19.8 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, becoming the first player in Washington High School history to eclipse the 1,000-point career mark. He participated in the Nike All-America camps in 2003 and 2004, and was a member of the USA North Team that captured the silver medal at the 2004 Men's Youth Development Festival. In five games, Zeller averaged 9.4 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.
On November 10, 2004, Zeller signed a National Letter of Intent to play college basketball for the University of Notre Dame.
As senior in 2004–05, Zeller averaged 19.6 points, 8.9 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game while leading his team to a 27–2 record and the Indiana Class 3A state championship. He finished the state championship game with 27 points, nine rebounds and 11 assists (a Class 3A state finals record). In that game, he hit the game-winning shot from midcourt as time expired in overtime to lead the Hatchets to a 74–72 win over Plymouth. He finished his high school career as a four-time all-state, all-section and all-conference honoree, and finished as Washington's all-time leader in points (1,727) and second in rebounds (820). The three-time team captain and two-time MVP became the only player in Washington High School history to be selected all-conference four times. He earned McDonald's All-American and Indiana Mr. Basketball honors at the season's end, was named the school's co-valedictorian, and earned National Honor Roll selection.
As a freshman at Notre Dame in 2005–06, Zeller averaged 3.4 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, and played in 27 contests and made nine starts. At the season's end, he earned Big East Academic All-Star Team honors, and was a member of the Athletes in Action team that captured the gold medal at the 2006 William Jones Cup in Taipei City, Taiwan.
As a sophomore in 2006–07, Zeller started the first 16 games of the season and played in all 32 contests, while averaging 3.8 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. On December 16, 2006, he scored a then career-high 14 points in a 94–63 win over Elon. On March 9, 2007, he scored four points in 18 minutes in the team's Big East Championship semi-final loss to Georgetown. At the season's end, he was named the recipient of the Notre Dame Club of St. Joseph Valley Rockne Student-Athlete Award.
In August 2007, Zeller travelled with Athletes in Action to Australia where he played in eight exhibition games and averaged 11.3 points and 6.6 rebounds while netting double figures in five of those contests.
As a junior in 2007–08, Zeller earned the Notre Dame Most Improved Player Award after averaging 4.5 points and 2.2 rebounds coming off the bench in all 33 contests.
