How bad/good is Cody Williams?

That's true. I would still defend Whaley as the worst pick in the Jazz history though. And, given that the Jazz picked in the lottery only 9 times in their history, being the worst lottery pick is not such a big accomplishment. I mean, the 3rd best player that the Jazz drafted in the lottery was, probably, Ronnie Brewer.

Goran Sutton is the worst pick in my lifetime and I would argue worse than Whaley

Drafting a dude who averaged 11 ppg, has a super slow motor, and is super skinny just because his brother is good for OKC is the dumbest reason ever.

That's not the reason lmao. He was a top ranked recruit and has extreme length. The skinny angle is way overblown (not that he isnt skinny, but I dont think being skinny has anything to do with him not being good). He started the season at 190. He must have cut weight for the combine to run drills better. He will get bigger.

Exactly. I think he has talent and potential. We just need to hope he has the drive and the grind to actually reach his potential.
 
I agree that his lack of skill is a bigger issue than being skinny. But he has fairly poor physical tools outside of his wingspan, which doesn’t show up on the court very much.

It's all just sports superstition.

Meanwhile, the best player on the planet has two massive brothers, and neither of them became anything special in basketball.
 
Bad like historically bad...

Even the likes of Kwame/Bennett/Wiseman has had good games in the NBA scoring 20+pts with multiple double/doubles.

Cody may not ever come close to similar numbers before he's retired from the league completely.
 
It’s bad when I’m hoping his struggles were mental lol…

He did show some interesting flashes with some nice ball handling and drives, but blew the layups badly. Hopefully he shows us something next year. Give us a random 30 point game. Anything!

The last time we had that the player had bathroom issues that developed along with the mental issues.
