Cody Williams, the 10th overall pick, is beginning to find his rhythm in his rookie season with the Utah Jazz. His recent performance with the Salt Lake City Stars in the G League saw him score a career-high 36 points, alongside one rebound and three assists, leading the team to a 121-117 victory over the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Williams shot an impressive 13-21 from the field and contributed defensively with three steals and two blocks.
Despite a rocky start with the Jazz, where he averaged only 3.5 points and struggled to adapt, his time with the Stars has revitalized his game. Since returning to the Jazz, he has shown marked improvement, shooting 60% in his last three games. Williams is poised to continue this upward trajectory as he prepares to face the Miami Heat at home this Saturday.
