That really depends on the person. Favors was that way, Kawhi... and Doncic smiles after his misses. The NBA players have all kinds of personalities: Duncan, Kobe, Draymond Green, Lauri, Morant...
Cody Williams Hype and Appreciation Thread
- Thread starter The Midnight
- Start date
Nice to see a few bright spots shining through the darkness. If Cody can somehow develop into a solid player then building a good team becomes so much easier. You have to have wings with his size and length to have any chance of matching up with the top teams in this league. The same thing goes for Hendricks who unfortunately bulked up too much during the rehabilitation process but should slim down and get his legs under him with consistent minutes during the 2nd half of the year.

Cody Williams, the Theoretically Good Defender.
After one of his highlight dunks, he gave up two wide open threes within the span of two minutes.
I'm enjoying his weird offensive explosions as much as the next idiot, but make no mistake, he's still a terrible defender.

Page 28 had several people lamenting that the kid probably doesn't even like basketball, and you decide to attack me?
**** off.
Cody had some nice dunks. Great! He also had quite a few awful defensive plays. Not so great! Let's move on

You have genuinely improved so much as a poster on here this year and while Cody definitely has some low bball IQ moments on defense it is just crazy to say he is a horrible defender when he clearly has the most defensive potential of anyone on our roster

The sample size is small, but Cody's defensive efficiency is one of the best on the team right now. (Not saying much, but still.) He's also one of our better finishers at the rim.
He has some of the pieces. If he can put it all together, he could be something. I'd like to see him use some of his new-found confidence to go after rebounds more than he does.

It's undeniable that Cody suddenly trying to dunk everything is a good thing. However, you also have to stay involved in the game when you don't have the ball, and he's still not doing that. It comes down to his nonexistent motor, and I'm just not sure if that can be fixed. It's a personality trait.
Unfortunately I agree with you on this. He is flirting with the Snell Line almost every game and you cant count on him to produce any stat to the box score consistently. He is also a complete non-spacer who even gets ignored by his teammates when standing alone in the corner.
Dude has 6 double digit games in 71 career appearances, and he has never double digited any other stat than points. He has only 7 games in his entire career where he hit 5+ on either rebounds or assists.
People insist on keeping him for his defense while we have picked several way better defenders from scrap heap with vet minimum type deals including team options for every year... and those guys also do literally everything else better than Cody.
Yet this thread keeps on keeping on..
