He's the player with hidden value. I hope the small guards keep doing well.

I hope we get 2nd and trade down to get him and get 2025 pick in the process. I think he will be a better pro than Topic (a clunky limited poor man's Luka with no killer instinct - average starter). I see explosiveness before the injury and then a slowdown after the injury.

Pick him and then let him rehab the whole 2024/2025 season and get Flagg/Ace.

I think Cody could play well with Sexton, Clarkson, Dunn, Keynote, Sensa, Lofton. No bad fit anywhere, he could bring the ball up too and lets you play big guard lineups. Add the 7'1" span from the 2G spot and you have a lot special things his addition could help the team with.

I thought I wanted Cody months ago but I've really cooled on the Jazz taking him. I watched both of this March Madness games and he had 0 impact on both games. I don't like Buzelis or Topic either. I do love Castle though. Edey is down to 30th, I'd take him at 29 or 32 and get rid of Walker.

I guess I'm hoping for Castle, Edey, and Jones.

Castle is a way better super defender, ball handler, fiery player. But sometimes super defenders are compensating for big issues elsewhere. I think Cody while super chill and may be injury prone has other qualities that I love.
 
I'm looking forward to what Cody looks like in workouts. If he can work on his body, that could really open up his game. At Colorado, he looked like Gumby.

Sounds like a common story to other great offensive players..he developed his body and this and this happened to his game. He may be injury proned though and too chill.

Some more Cody Williams content. He was really efficient as a freshman. Excellent in transition which is indicative of athleticism. And as I said before, of the guys projected in the lottery who are not undersized in this draft, Williams is the only one who statistically checks out. Castle, Buzelis and Ron Holland have very disconcerting shooting numbers. Basically nobody in recent memory has had shooting numbers that bad and had much of a career. Scary.

Cody Williams is taller than Mikal Bridges and has the same wingspan (7'1").

Comping him with Matas (who is 3 inches taller) and the crazy thing is Matas has a 6'9" wingspan.

Not sure who is more athletic, but my guess is Matas. I still think they are going to be compared for a decade.
