I'm still pretty excited about Cody. He is already a good defender and once he gets some strength he could be a great defender. He's smart enough that I think he'll eventually figure out what he needs to do to stay on the court on offense.

Unfortunately I could see him being a guy that doesn't put it together until his second contract. He's got such a long ways to go that it could take longer than what we are willing to be patient with.

There was one game either in the preseason or in the early season where he seemed to put it together. I'm not sure where that Cody went.

We can afford to be patient. Even if we get a top talent and start to build up within the next few years, its not like our window opens right away. If it takes Cody 4 years to become rotation quality, then as long as we see enough progress to not cut bait, he will be here.

The Curry-path with him taking a way below-market valued contract would be absolutely perfect for us so this is kind of a dream scenario.
 
I still think NBA minutes are better than GLeague minutes, but at this point I don’t think Hardy can even pretend to keep up his “no free minutes” schtick with Cody. Brice was bad, I can’t deny that, but he is levels above Cody right now.

It may force Cody to be more assertive... well it almost has to make him more assertive. IDK I am balancing the development path and the fact that Cody's 15-20 minutes is pretty helpful for the tank. I lean still keeping him with the varsity squad and Will shut the hell up about no free minutes.

I’m fully on board with embracing the tank and just committing our NBA minutes to the young guys. But Hardy is kind of being a wuss about it and doing it with some players and not others. It’s another half measure where some guys get free minutes and other times the Vets get the minutes.

He clearly has favorites on the team and that is ok…but at the very least I would like him to stfu about being a hard *** who doesn’t give free minutes.

Ultimately I don’t think being in GLeague vs NBA will have a large impact on his development. If he’s going to be Kevin Knox he won’t be saved one way or the other. Might as well embrace the tanking and just let the young guys play. I think this will happen at some point, just as it has previous seasons and again we’ll be like “why not earlier?”.

Agree... drop the Hard Willy act.
 
Cody should be living in the gym, working out 3 hours/day, and playing with the Gleague team to get meaningful reps. Playing 3 or 4 mins here and there with the varsity team isn't going to help him.

You saw Hendricks being trash down there, but as a result in the spring he was much more ready for NBA minutes.

Send Cody down and bring him back after trade DL. Brice should maybe stay up, as he needs to start earning his 2nd contract 1 year earlier than Cody.
 
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.

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.
