Family Affairs: Zellers Could Become 10th Set of All-American Brothers

North Carolina's Tyler Zeller, a Washington, IN, product who became an NCAA consensus second-team All-American this past season, set the stage for a rare family milestone. If Indiana's Cody Zeller lives up to billing in 2012-13, he and Tyler will join the following chronological list of nine sets of brothers who became major-college All-Americans:

• Marv Huffman (Indiana G in 1940) and Vern Huffman (Indiana G in 1936)/New Castle, IN
• Eddie O'Brien (Seattle G in 1953) and Johnny O'Brien (Seattle G in 1952 and 1953)/South Amboy, NJ
• Dick Van Arsdale (Indiana F in 1965) and Tom Van Arsdale (Indiana F in 1965)/Indianapolis, IN
• Mike Sojourner (Utah C in 1974) and Willie Sojourner (Weber State C in 1971)/Philadelphia, PA
• Albert King (Maryland F in 1980 and 1981) and Bernard King (Tennessee F from 1975 through 1977)/Brooklyn, NY
• Jim Paxson (Dayton G in 1979) and John Paxson (Notre Dame G in 1982 and 1983)/Kettering, OH
• Harvey Grant (Oklahoma F in 1988) and Horace Grant (Clemson F in 1987)/Sparta, GA
• Brandin Knight (Pittsburgh G in 2002) and Brevin Knight (Stanford G in 1997)/East Orange, NJ
• Ben Hansbrough (Notre Dame G in 2010-11) and Tyler Hansbrough (North Carolina F-C from 2005-06 through 2008-09)/Poplar Bluff, MO

Of course, Duke's Seth Curry, if he overcomes leg problems, could blossom into an All-American as a senior and join his brother - Davidson's Stephen Curry - on this illustrious list. The Curry duo are slated to become the highest-scoring pair of brothers in NCAA history in February. Following are the most combined points by a set of brothers at the Division I level entering this season:

• Ben (Notre Dame) and Tyler (North Carolina) Hansbrough - 4,485 points
• Larry (Indiana State) and Eddie (Indiana State) Bird - 4,405
• Chuck (Auburn) and Wesley (Auburn) Person - 4,377
• Greg (Utah State) and Josh (Utah State) Grant - 4,124
