Cody Williams and SGA is a comparison that I never expected to hear. I'm looking more in the Tayshaun Prince mold if he is willing to really lock in defensively.

When you got Sip talking you down on a prospect you know you've gone too far
 
If you dig around his highlights from year to year he keeps adding things. Compared to a typical rookie his athletic ability is not elite. But he keeps adding the skills. An average athlete that can keep shooting, and has a defensive edge can find a way to a rotational player

Ok, now tell me which 2nd rounder is the next Jokic and I won't be able to argue against it because no one knew about Jokic either!

I'm a fan of Cody Williams, but IDK, I don't see him as having a ton of upside for scoring. Don't see an assertive player and the shot is mediocre. See someone who is probably going to fit in and be kind of a 3&D type with his unique trait being the ability to attack the rim off the dribble in closeout situations or rotation situations. Don't see the primary creation upside.
 
I also can't recall any big board that has Cody in the top 5 (and I mean any, from small enthusiast like us to thr major sites), so I don't think anyone really sees all that much upside. I don't even really see him in the top 10 for many. Everyone seems to agree he is an OK lottery prospect but not someone teams seem to be enamored with like Holland/Buzelis who seem to have a wider variety of positive/negative opinions.

When you go pro it can help a player level up. There are few that get surprisingly better. Hard to predict but there are elements there that could happen. Not likely for Cody because he is a 10th pick but it could happen.

Cody Williams was consensus top 4 on several draft sites (incl. NbaDraftroom, Yahoo and Rafael Barlowe's NBA BigBoard), along with Sarr, Risacher and Topic up until late January or early February.
Then Cody had injury issues.
Then the UK guards gained prominence.
Then Buzelis had a handful of better games.
Then the UConn guys had their post-season run.

See where Cody goes in this draft. I'll be pleasantly surprised if he makes it to #10.
