Cody Williams Hype and Appreciation Thread

He has really good balance and some advanced timing on his drives. The handle could be tighter and gets away from him a bit, but he should be able to tighten that up. His touch around the rim is really nice, and it lets him score from different angles. For him, it's about adding strength, some toughness and the will to be more aggressive. That's probably going to take 18 months or so.
 
I dont see pg explosiveness but i am impressed with how cody is able to keep ahead of the defense. He kind of takes what they give him and uses his length to his advantage. Also has pretty good footwork
 
I’ve been impressed by him so far. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him given real minutes and a prominent role - depending on what the front office/coaching staff wants to see from the young guys this year.
 
Two issues I'm seeing with Cody Williams right now:

1) He's comfortable shooting and initiating offense from only a few spots on the floor, and as the 4th or 5th option when he's out there, he isn't normally in one of those spots.

2) He's not accustomed to NBA speed or physicality. He's slow to make decisions and slow to set up his shot. It also looks like he may be avoiding contact. If he sees an open lane to the rim, he'll take it, but that's not happening very often.

Don’t read too much into a preseason game dominated by bench/young prospects that won’t play much.

You know who else looked good in preseason in their rookie season? Jared Butler. Just stop. It also doesn’t hurt that his shot was falling last night

You are objectively right but spiritually wrong. This year is going to be rough. We're going to lose a lot of games. What makes this fun is geeking out when one of the young guns crushes a game, and especially when they crush two in a row. This is the forum that thought Trey Burke just needed time to put it together. The forum that was buying oceanfront property on Exum island. We can rally for 2024-2025.

Fwiw I hated both the trey burke and Dante exum picks from day 1. Especially hated the trey burke pick.
