Havent had many Cody Williams in franchise history. Hes a true wing with length, athleticism, and some ball skills. Looks like the real deal

Just needs a little weight.

I have been clamoring for years for the jazz to get guys with the height, length, athleticism physical profile of Hendricks and Williams. Nice to have them on the team finally.
Of course there is more to it than just physical profile and maybe they won't be good nba players but at least they have the body types to be successful.

That was very ****ing satisfying. I've said all along that Cody Williams is the truth.

Lol

So splendid!
I kept standing in clutch time and it proved worth it.
Refs suck
nice shooting by justice
those dunks by cody and Bazely drove everyone crazy!
Met a super enthusiastic spurs fan sitting next to me,and got my first appearance on the screen
Perfect!!!

Awesome bro.
I do the standing up in clutch time things in my living room in regular season and playoff games too

Whats impressive is hes a right hand guy and he dunked using his left

The first time I saw a highlight video of Williams I thought he was left handed due to how often he was finishing with his left. Didn't know he was right handed until he took his first outside jumpshot

Closer to what?

I’m not sure he has an iso game unless he surges up his handle, it’s not good. It even looked loose on a straight line drive where he tried to go around someone on a failed drive attempt he had to abort because the ball didn’t go with him. I’m not criticizing him, but I don’t see him being the star player everyone else sees. I see 3&D slasher. Those are the things he seems to excel at.

I see him as a guy who will score 15-18 a game play great defense and shoot a good %, and be a guy that takes his opportunities to slash and finish. This by the way excites me. We’ve never had this in a wing for as long as I can remember. Maybe he makes 1-2 allstar appearances like Gordon Hayward.

Don’t go brandishing me as a hater because I’m not I like his game. I just don’t see what you guys see. His handles are fairly weak.

He has really good handles. Watch a college highlight video if you want evidence

Through the first 4 games (not solely on these 4 games) I would rank our young players:

1. Keyonte
2. Cody Williams
3. Walker Kessler
4. Taylor Hendricks
5. Filipowski
6. Collier
7. Bazley
8. Lofton
9. Sensabaugh

Good ranking. I probably flip Collier and flip though.

Sexton is not a pg

He is. Best one on our roster.
He was different last year. Over 2 assists per game better than any season of his career. Low turnovers as well.
Amazing efficiency as well.

They aren't going to start Walker and Collins together

Agreed. I think Collins starts and Kessler comes off the bench

The jumper did not fall last night/had some cringy moments off the dribble, but it was another "wow this guy is gonna make a ton of money" performance by Hendricks. I think his perimeter defense and lateral movement looked good. He's not going to be an A+ rim protector or on ball stopper, but he's going to be a B+ or A- at every defensive role and that's super valuable.

This.
I also think he will have more improvement than most players. No data or evidence or reason for this feeling though. Mostly just homerish optimism

Ok, so my statement remains the same that the biggest question is who starts between Cody and Hendricks

Juzang!

I hope Bazley makes the team btw. He kinda sucks at basketball but he's a great athlete with 11/10 effort level. I would like to see him rewarded and use that as an example for the young players. Cody/Hendricks would see massive improvements to their games by dialing up their intensity.

Agreed.
He seems like he would be a really good "culture" guy
