He has that dog in him defensively. Kind of reminds me of college Wade when he was locked in defensively.
Actually, dogs brag about having some Devin Carter in them. His stats line up well with Cason Wallace from last year.

But what if draft Cui Yang Xi means that we will certainly get Hansen Yang?If a player is going to come out of China he's just going to have to be overwhelmingly talented. This dude isn't it. It's just hard to overcome being so far behind in terms of experience vs top competition. You have to be overwhelmingly physically gifted or talented, like Yao Ming to overcome that. Maybe Hansen Yang can do that, but it's probably not this guy. He will have to grind his teeth in some actual leagues for years
#12 will be Topic or a rebounding big.Seems like the Spurs are probably Topic's only other option in the top 10 besides the Jazz, unless some team is able to trade into that range.

Ryan looks like a smart guy and having all those Chinese fans means a lot of Jersey sales.
I’m in on Cody Williams. I see the vision.
Also guys coming back from an acl is never the same physically.To draft Topic, a team needs to be in the market for a lead guard AND be willing to redshirt him for more or less his entire rookie season. That's approaching Sam Hinkie territory, and I'm not sure how many teams are willing to do it. I guess you could argue that rookies don't do a whole lot their rookie season anyway, but that's still a pretty big ask for a top 10 pick.
Initially, yes, but most fully recover, sometimes it just takes a year extra.Also guys coming back from an acl is never the same physically.

SGA but bigger, so you are saying he has potential to be the best player in the NBA?I think the vision for Cody would be a player like Shai, but a bit bigger. The chance of that actually happening might be something like 10%. So then you're probably left with a guy who can defend, move the ball and finish some plays. Maybe he can get to 17/4/3 or something. A guy like Josh Howard maybe?

I agree with your point, but I thought the best player in the NBA was going to be Zach Edey?SGA but bigger, so you are saying he has potential to be the best player in the NBA?
My lunch break today was a deep dive on Ajay Mitchell. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of good scouting videos for second round prospects, but the one on the bottom is ok.
Offensively I like Ajay. He's got decent size for a point guard. I like that he can score at all 3 levels. He isn't especially athletic, but he is crafty at getting his shot off. I'm not sure it will all translate to the NBA. I kind of see him as a Jared Butler level player.
Defensively it's a no for me. He doesn't have a great wingspan and doesn't have great agility scores, and it shows on film. He has a hard time staying in front of his guy. He gets some steals due to being smart, so maybe he works in a team concept, but he isn't a guy I would want the Jazz to draft.

I mean SGA is arguably already the best player in the league, so a taller version of him would have a legitimate claim.If everything goes perfectly, maybe he could become a top 10-15 guy. A player "like Shai" doesn't have to be literally Shai. I'm referring to Cody becoming an elite isolation scorer and on-ball creator, which would be a top-end outcome for him.
Also, a bigger version of Shai isn't necessarily the best player in the league.
He seems like 2 way contract guy.
