2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

He loved basketball. He didn't love being a professional.

Seems accurate. I also wonder if Sloan was uhhhh... not the guy he needed as a coach.

Cody is 15 lbs away from being 15 lbs away. Seriously, take any wing with his dimensions that was 15 lbs heavier than him….those are the skinny guys that who need to gain weight. Hendricks was 25 lbs heavier than Cody, and he was a guy that still needed to put on weight.

Regardless of his weight, he also needs to work on his horrible jumper, handle, and simply playing harder.

I think he plays hard, but he needs to play more assertive and decisive.

Yeah, he’s too good defensively to say he doesn’t play hard, but he can definitely play passively on offense.

He's ok when defending on the ball, but he just doesn't have that knack for being active otherwise. I think he's pretty much a complete zero unless he's directly guarding the guy with the ball. Being more active is probably a better description than simply playing harder. Complete opposite of a player who has his fingerprints on the game and this is true for both sides of the ball.

Looking back, we had an unbelievably stacked roster. Funny how Sloan and KOC stumbled upon a goldmine of modern stars ahead of their time. If we had more modern leadership, we could have maybe won a chip with that roster.

zero assessment about Cody until early 27 I still believe

we used to say the same thing about exum at this stage. yet three years later, he still sucked - and what's crazy is he was better than Cody at the same stage. i guess if we're happy waiting 10 years for him to become a solid role player for another team, maybe we can have some optimism regarding his career.

Hysterical overreaction

literally just recounting history. and giving williams the benefit of the doubt comparing him to a player who showed more promise at the same stage.

Not with that interior defense.

The Jazz have two new guys off the scrap heap so lets see how they compare to all our youngsters.
