Im betting Cody spends a lot of time in the G-League to start the season
Utah Jazz 2025 Preseason
- Thread starter Ferguson_Mellochill
- Start date
Feel like Cody was so bad last year he needs to be held back a year and graduate from the G-League. He will play more the 2nd half of the season when the vets have been traded or stop playing/injured
Not really. Hendricks can play a lot of different positions defensively and can shoot, so I don't think it's too hard to get him in the floor
I think Collier is the other young guy who could spend a lot of time to start the year in the G-League

Hendricks snapped his leg and put on like 15-25 pounds of muscle. He's put on like 30-40 pounds since his rookie season (which was basically the last time he played), we'll see if he can defend a position other than PF now.

Regarding Master Cody I still have reservations. I was really stoked about him after the 2024 Summer League and we saw how that turned out. He did add some weight and had a good summer league this year. Until he proves me wrong, I'm afraid he's the next Marjon Beauchamp or Kevin Knox II until he produces in the show. There's a guy that played college ball in the area I live that was undrafted and just waived by the Raptors before training camp started and out played both Cody and Cedric Coward head to head in college games. That's where Cody is in my head at the moment: An undrafted free agent that will get about 100 grand to play in the GLeague. I hope I'm totally wrong about this.
Cody needs to play with the ball in his hands a bit to get himself going. When he’s the 5th guy out there standing in the corner, I’m afraid he might just check out.
You can always move guys around, but if you count the vets there is a ton of players in that 3/4 position.

Wouldn't making this move signal that the first tear down/rebuild was a big fat failure with a capital F?
Not really. Lauri is the big piece that the Jazz would consider keeping, but if they get a hefty offer for him, that's fine too. I think that with the noise surrounding Giannis right now, the Jazz may be floating the idea in case it draws some interest. Chris Mannix used to have good connections to Boston and the Ainges. There's probably something to this.
Ace Bailey with 25 pts, 6 rebs, 2 ast, 2 stls, 1 blk on 11/16 FG in his first game. Just wait til his body develops.
Walt Clayton Jr. struggled, shooting 3/10. He needs to find his shot and build his game off of that. NBA speed and length are an adjustment for him.

Someone needs to start the Ace Bailey hype thread.

I really like the way the Jazz used Ace. They featured him, played to his strengths and let him get his in the flow of the game. Jazz were very lucky to get Ace at #5.

Brice has made strides with his athleticism. He didn't used to turn the corner and attack the rim like this...

Vecenie basically laughed off the idea that Ace could be ROTY a few days ago
I lost a lot of respect for Vecenie when he spent the whole first part of the college season last year dismissing Tre Johnson and then he gets drafted and has a good summer league and was saying stuff like, "I've been telling people how good Tre Johnson is, look how right I was."
