Jazz select Cody Williams at pick 10

For some reason I thought WIlliams was like 195lbs skinny... I just looked at his combine measurement - 178 lbs!! Da ***? How was Rob Dillingham's weight the conversation and not Cody Williams'?

Lowest weight for a "forward" in combine history.

It was the main concern for him and I knew it, but I thought it was more of a normal concern... this is something else. I felt like Dillingham's weight was presented as one of the biggest concerns for a player in the entire draft. 178 lbs for 6'7" wing is a much bigger problem than 165 for a 6'1" guard IMO.

The lack of conversation may also be because nobody really doubts that Cody can defend, and he was also great at the rim (2 areas where weight is typically most concerning). But he was a poor rebounder -- so that may remain an issue.

I definitely am concerned if Cody can defend, but I am also worried about his weight and that's a huge part of it. Beyond that, he was very inactive on defense. Despite his length, one of the worst (if not the worst) rebounder relative to his size and a very low steal rate. Would be an extreme outlier on paper if he ended up being a good defender in the NBA.

He's not a guy that plays super hard or makes a lot of things happen.

For the Jazz team featuring Keyonte, Hendriks and Williams the biggest nemesis will be draughts in the arena.
