Cody Williams amassed 14 points (6-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two blocked shots in 31 minutes in Monday’s 82-70 loss to the Kings.
Williams has looked more comfortable in Las Vegas than Salt Lake City, and increased opportunities to serve as a playmaker have helped. While the assist tally (one) may not be impressive, the first-round pick out of Colorado was able to set up teammates on numerous occasions. Williams’ fantasy value could be low to begin the season, but he’s a player who would flourish if the Jazz pulled the plug and went all-in on “Capture the (Cooper) Flag(g)” after the calendar flips to 2025.
