Jazz select Cody Williams at pick 10

I was thinking about this today and I would agree. Although I think Brice is up there.
I just dont know how you can see him as a serious rotation piece if he cant defend. I watched very little this last season, but I didnt hear or see anyone saying dude had all of a sudden become even a passable defender in the G League or late season.
 
How quickly do you guys think Cody will play? I’ve been pretty vocal about my concerns with him, but I think trial by fire will be the best choice for development. If it were up to me, I’d start Kessler/Lauri/Hendricks/Williams/Sexton. But we know that won’t happen.

I wonder where he starts the season relative to Hendricks and Sens.
It's hard to say with Hardy. He played Key and Walker immediately but Taylor couldn't find minutes until Tech was moved. Hopefully the front office has learned their lesson and just clears the deck chairs immediately for him to find minutes. That means no Dunn or Clarkson.

Important to remember that Brice has played vanishingly few legitimate NBA minutes. Every post-ASB minute was to some meaningful degree garbage time.

Yeah, so all we can do is go back to his college film then right? Dude was lost constantly.

I wouldn’t say there is nothing to learn from his NBA minutes, I just would take any assessments with more than one grain of salt.

His offensive upside is through the roof. I know it doesn’t make sense now but he can be a legit scorer in the league.

Yeah, it’s hard to know especially bc we don’t know the intentions/goal of next season. Hendricks has a much easier role to contribute right away but I think Hardy was giving Key extra runway because he believed in his talent so much. It’s way harder to contribute as a primary ball handler than it is a spot up shooter as a rookie.

If Hardy really believes in Cody I think he will give him PT even if he’s getting crushed.
 
i think he'll have a somewhat limited rookie season but as he fills out which WILL happen dude's gonna be a beast. I think he'll be our next all star in 5-6 years but be really good in 2-3 years
