Should Cody spend time in the G LEAGUE

Should Cody Williams get sent down to the Stars for a stint?

I thought Cody last night was excellent like the Vegas Summer League Cody. The Stars had a nice lead when he was on the court.
 
What the heck, he looks like a different player in those highlights: aggressively going in and scoring through contact, effortlessly dropping threes... I have never seen him playing this way.

If Cody gets comfortably with playing through contact he will completely change what he can do on the court
 
this why g leauge was a great idea for him. remind/convince him that he can play. even if he plays like **** 2 out of 3 games, he just needs a good one here and there like last night to tell him - dude, look, you can get to the bucket, you can make threes. this g league stint has allowed him to be aggressive and now last night, both be aggressive and play well. perfect scenario.

Cody can learn a thing or two from Slow Mo Anderson. His shooting mechanics is too slow and he's not explosive enough to get by his man. He's got some very good game fundamentals but unfortunately the game is simply too physical and too fast for him. If he can add slow-mo’s craftiness and funky mechanics to his bags, he can still carve out a NBA career.

Cody is faster than Kyle Anderson. Cody also has a decent 1st step. He's actually not far off from being like Jerami Grant offensively if he can add a good 10-15 lbs.
 
Biggest difference from what I can see is that Cody is getting more buckets in the flow of the game. Broken plays, semi transition, and of course horrible GLeague defense. He can't create an advantage, but he can finish with one. It's different from the first two games where it looked like he felt like he would be sent to jail if he didn't try to score every time he touched it. I definitely think there's a mental aspect to this. When you get "demoted" to the GLeague you feel like you just have to chuck up anything and everything. It makes GLeague ball even more fake than it already is. I expect the rest of GLeague time to be like he was in the Summer League. Even though the SL is also low quality, Cody didn't play with the same desperation where he had to shoot it every time.

He was more "aggressive" in the first two games, but that certainly wasn't good basketball.

I'm old enough to remember the morons on this board giving up on Hendricks 3 games into the G-League season last year. . .

Now that Hendricks is out, people suddenly talk like he's a good player. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I guess.

Let's not get it twisted: Hendricks didn't look good this season either. It's just that Cody has replaced him at the bottom of the barrel.
