'23 AZ SF Cody Williams (SIGNED to COLORADO)

[Hank]

The issue with last year's team (at least one glaring issue) was the lack of physical toughness. That is not Cody's game. He will rapidly develop but I think he's at CU for two years.

 

[Da Lama]

He only saw 9 minutes in the loss to France. Maybe that's a good thing (since he didn't participate much in the loss). Who knows. I'm excited for him to start for CU.

I watched 4 games and that entire US roster was pretty much a bunch of lazy dudes who could care less about a team concept. Tad had his hands full and I expect he's glad it's over.

It's unfortunate the tad was unable to reach these guys. Poor coaching.

Fire Tad.

Seen at least 4 sites Mocking him #1 now. The ones that aren't doing so, haven't been updated since November.

Cody is considered the *swing for the fences" pick. Highest upside of anyone in the draft. He gone.

 

[JMBuffs]

His brother's game has been exploding too, has to help

 

[Darth Snow]

Looking forward to his sophomore year. Cause that was the plan right? Right?

If he became a franchise player that would be awesome.

Dinwiddie and White have turned our surprisingly good careers.

Don't forget Dre as well pre-injury.

I hope that Tad is developing a reputation as a coach who prepares guys for the league. Helps with recruiting, especially since we aren't going to beat a lot of schools with bag.

Bari and Burke also are carving out roles.

Alec has been in the league for over a decade. Which is like next to impossible.

Alec's had a damn good career despite all the injuries.

I'm actually more surprised White has than Dinwiddie, figured Dinwiddie would be a good professional. He can shoot and he's a big guard. I thought White would be good, but he's exceeded expectations imho. Glad he shaved his head, I saw him getting grilled on TNT by Shaq and Barkley.

Derrick White had an elite block percentage as a guard. Boucher, Eubanks, Metu and Melton also exceeded their draft position so maybe there is something about Block Percentage as a stat that translates to the NBA or it could be a weird coincidence.

Block Percentage (PAC-12)

1.	Chris Boucher Oregon	11.8
2.	Kingsley Okoroh University of California	10.8
3.	Jordan Bell Oregon	8.0
4.	Drew Eubanks Oregon State	7.8
5.	Wesley Gordon Colorado	6.9
6.	Thomas Welsh UCLA	5.3
7.	Chimezie Metu USC	5.1
8.	Derrick White Colorado	5.0
9.	Elijah Stewart USC	4.2
10.	De'Anthony Melton USC	3.9

Looking at advanced stats I noticed Nique Clifford is #4 in the country in effective field goal percentage. I wouldn't trade Cody for him but people often bring him up as a reason to avoid recruiting Colorado kids and he's killing it this year. He just needed a little longer to develop and I get that he didn't want to come off the bench in his Senior season.

KJ Simpson is #8 in Win Shares. It's a weird list though. Edey is #1 which makes sense but everyone else is from a G5. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/seasons/men/2024-leaders.html

Great young man, just wish we had MORE of him, his skills, and his time
Good luck to him, it will sound great to hear the University of Colorado spoken over and over at the Draft

It was cool hearing DWhite mentioned as going to CU during the NBA Finals. Hope the best for Cody getting in a good situation.
