I really want to know if Cody did an individual workout or a group one. Seems like if you saw in a group setting, his weakness with the ball would have been super apparent.
Should Cody spend time in the G LEAGUE
- Thread starter SoberasHotRod
- Start date
Wasn't it reported that he whooped Knecht in a workout? I thought I remembered something along those lines.
1. It was a random guy on twitter with no credentials
2. It was never stated they played against each other, just that Cody was a better prospect at everything outside of shooting.
I can see how Cody might be a good one on zero player. He seems like he would be good in the interview process as well.
My hope for Cody is that he saw his brother's 2nd contract with OKC and he's jealous and competitive enough to try to earn the same.
I think he's still in there somewhere. He just needs time and physical development. I think there's a mix of lacking confidence and deferring to pretty much everyone else on the team.

I just think he has 0 confidence right now… like even his jump shot looks different in that video it’s a nice fluid jump shot and right now it’s just this weird pushing motion with his arms I wonder what’s going on.

Isn't that the Juzang path?
I think we need to breathe a bit with this Cody situation. There is absolutely no way to argue around the Exum comps at this point, but since we dont really know the underlying issue with his passiveness we dont really know how fixable it is. But it likely isnt something he will just snap out of.
So being all toxic or doom-and-gloom about him/his future is only harmful to our own sanity and possibly to his as well, if he is active on keeping tabs on what people discuss about him.
I'm personally just gonna stop analyzing his on-court performances for now and accept he doesnt know how to play NBA basketball at this point. The tools are still there, if he ever figures out how to use them. But its likely gonna be baby steps, and hopefully at the end of the year an optimist like myself can easily claim he at least looked way better in April than he did in November.

EDIT: Was gonna post this to the game thread. Not sure what happened... oh well

Collier is frustrating. He has the burst and straight line speed to get by people at the point of attack, but after that he has absolutely no idea what to do. Has zero midrange game, isn't great at shoveling passes to rolling bigs and regularly gets way too close to the basket in the trees and gets blocked, like Sexton.
The game will slow down for him eventually but he too needs a lot of work to function as an NBA pg.
The Spurs inexplicably face guarded Flip like he was Ray Allen. For the record, he's now shooting 30% from the perimeter on very low volume, pretty much the same as at Duke. From the FT line, he's at 52% (of course, he never gets to the line either). Not great.
I still like watching Flip play because he obviously understands basketball, but at some point his scoring difficulties will really start to become an issue.

He is explosive by NBA standards and also tenacious as a defender (albeit a bit gambling). If he ever figures out how to put the ball in the basket and/or how to be a low TO playmaker, he will be a keeper.
