He's too old for Mailman.
How bad/good is Cody Williams?

Looks like they're changing Cody's shooting motion to minimize movement. This could take a while...

If Cody were anymore laidback, he’d be upside down. His casual demeanor is part of the issue.

Cody either puts in the work or he can enjoy the rest of his life in the management training program at McDonalds.

Even if the Jazz cut ties with him after next season (which is ridiculously unlikely), he'll have made a nice $11 million. So McDonalds is probably not his next step.
He can play video games and sip gin and juice with his mind on his money at this point.

Plus he gets the enviable position of being the brother of a guy who should easily make $200+ million in his career
If there is no progress, there is no trade partner either.

On the shooting video you could just see him thinking threw the new stroke. Kind of like a pro golfer changing his swing.
That's how changing your shot works. You don't just jump into game speed reps

I remember a grad student's thesis in physiology years ago stating that it takes about six weeks to learn a new physical skill and double that if the person is unlearning an old skill and replacing it with the new skill. In the "unlearning" portion there were exagerated movements or feels given to wipe out the old stuff. So maybe by summer league maybe Cody can show this bad boy off.

No, but he’s easy to include in a trade for salary matching purposes. Someone can easily think they can get more out of him - just like Agbaji.

I mean, it was 11.9 points in just 28.4 minutes per game. He also fell dramatically from January 27th on, I think iirc, because he was hurt. Before that he averaged around 15ppg.

Ugh. Exact opposite imo. Be Teddy. Walk softly but carry a big stick. Work your *** off all day every day…without any bs promotional social media to brag. You’re a ****ing no one. Being a workout warrior means jackshit. Just work your *** off and then let your play on the court speak for itself.
I wouldn’t be so sure. Kevin Knox and Ziaire Williams are still in the league. Guys with Cody’s measurables get multiple chances.
If he can be a rotation player in two years that will be a win.
The problem is he plays with no passion and if that reflects what he is as a person or how he feels about basketball then he’s doomed. This was his problem before getting drafted with the 10th pick and endangering this build in a serious way (since this is a pick that would’ve otherwise conveyed to OKC and not forced us to tank next year regardless of how this draft went) but whatever.

Sure, but we can also just not extend him at that point.
I dont think its a good idea to decline his options. I mean we arent going anywhere right now, so may as well see if something happens in years 3-4 even if year 2 is same same.
