My Take
What strikes me about Cody Williams is how much pressure rides on a player who was a consensus five-star recruit out of California before he'd even turned twenty. Going from one year with the Colorado Buffaloes straight into the NBA with the Utah Jazz is a steep curve, and I'll be watching whether the raw upside that made scouts swoon translates into a real pro role. The Jalen Williams connection adds a fun wrinkle too, two brothers carving out NBA careers at the same time. I think the honest read is patience: the ceiling is high, but he's young, and the league rarely rewards rushing.
