Is Cody going to be at summer league? You know working the concession stand, cutting oranges for the team and so on?
he's on the roster and is expected to hand out t-shirts to fans.
I've gone from having very little hope in Cody to having some optimism that he can thrive in a 3 and D role for us. He was decent last year defensively and seems to be putting in the work to get bigger and stronger. It will probably be at least a couple year process to get to his ideal weight but even adding 10 to 15 lbs of muscle can do a lot for a players confidence. In the pictures and videos posted recently he looks noticeably bigger so I'm looking forward to seeing him in person tomorrow.
The thing for me is that I don't really care as much about him offensively other than the hope that he can develop into a solid spot up 3pt shooter. As a top 10 pick you are hoping for a guy that can create for himself and others offensively but now with Ace the only I want from Cody is 3 and D. I'm looking at his development in a far more narrow scope now and hopefully he can develop into something in that smaller role.Everyone knew he was skinny and physically underdeveloped coming into the league. He can be an adequate team defender if he adds strength and physical presence.
The real shock was how offensively limited he was as a rookie. It turned out he could only score in certain situations, which he was rarely put in. How his offensive game develops will go a long way to determining how viable he is as a player. He needs to shoot and score well enough to stay on the floor.
I agree. I got Brice, Isaiah and possibly Kyle outshining him, but yes, very nice performance! Looked like Jalen’s little brother tonight.Today was GOOD Cody Williams. The majority of the people in this thread can get bent.
