So much went right for the Utah Jazz last night that it overshadowed a troubling development: Cody Williams didn't play until the game was well out of reach. Because Williams did not play until garbage time, it confirms that the Jazz do not really believe in Williams' abilities at the moment.
This isn't exactly the most surprising news. Williams had a historically awful rookie season last year, with no area of his game that wasn't concerning. He looked better in the Summer League, which raised some optimism about his long-term prospects, but an uneven preseason performance was a good reminder that, if he becomes an NBA player, it may take some time.
