Cody Williams had a nightmare rookie season for the Utah Jazz last year, and his preseason performance hasn't exactly been too great as a whole. As if there wasn't enough pressure on the Jazz sophomore already, Matas Buzelis' rise will only put more pressure on Williams to figure things out.
Buzelis was picked right after Williams in the 2024 NBA Draft, as the Chicago Bulls picked him with the 11th overall pick. Position-wise, Buzelis and Williams are pretty similar, with the only difference being the former being far ahead of the latter in terms of development.
