John Hollinger is extremely established and is not engaged in the draft hype mill (whereby people gain access to prospects and their teams by creating a bunch of puff content, a la No Ceilings, and people who are negative are shut out of access when they fail to felate prospect X). This is what happened to Bill Simmons’ relationship with ESPN (I’m sure among other things, but they did NOT like his draft comments because they didn’t want him damaging relationships with agencies and the like).? John Hollinger writes for The Athletic and compared Cody to Ziaire Williams and was one of the only people to point out that Cody's jumpshot was terrible.
