I don’t think Sheppard makes it to 4
It's a composite. Not a draft prediction. That's why it looks weird.
I don’t think Sheppard makes it to 4
Bridges to Houston just makes too much sense... I still believe that will happen, with one of Houston's young wings (along with picks) going back to BKY
Cody had three injuries during his season. Was brought back way to early for the Conference Tournament, got a bench role and played poor. Regarding his stock it would have been better if he had shut down the season in February. Shouldn‘t be held against him that he didn‘t and tried to help his team, despite not fully healthy.
Slightly weird way it's put. Rival execs think other teams might pick Cody Williams higher than mocks say. They did not say that they themselves would take him. Feels like a way to hide another player or get teams to bite on Williams.
Cody Williams played really well until some point in January. Some say his injuries hindered him. There's a case to be made. But do injuries really affect him that much? He was really not a first round draft pick to me after he came back, and he wasn't really moving or looking that different.
He's long and lanky and will be in the right spots. That's worth something. Seems to be a great kid. All of his good points aren't fully there or are glimpses. He has a high 3-pt shooting, but took two a game. He can handle the ball, but most of his assists came in transition. He gets bullied on defense due to weight, which can change, but how much?
Here's another player who was lighting it up in January but fell back to earth a bit. He was still effective, however:
Cody Williams against Johnny Furphy https://tankathon.com/players/compar...-cody-williams
It says a lot to me that Furphy got 7.8 rebounds per 36 and Cody only got 3.8. And Furphy put up 5.7 threes per 36 and Cody put up 2.2. Furphy knew his role was establishing that threat and putting them up when he got the pass. Williams often hung onto the ball. Partly because his shot is pretty slow. Some think he lacked confidence, some that he was saving his percentage. Cody is supposedly a budding playmaker and Furphy does not have that skillset yet, but there's only a 2.0 to 1.5 assist difference between them. And Furphy rules all the advanced stats, including defensive.
Eye test... Furphy really is in the 3&D mold at this point, stays in the corners and cuts. Williams is in the point forward mold, he's just not good at it yet. If he never gets good at it, he's just a minutes soaker.
To me... Williams wouldn't be in the discussion if his brother didn't put him on the map while he was playing pretty well and he's not a top 10 guy to me.
Scroll down to see the games after he came back in Feb 8. This is a guy I'd think about in the 20s. Those games alone? Not a draft pick or he's a second rounder. Maybe it was the injuries though.

That's fine by me since I prefer Risacher or Castle at 4 over Sheppard, and the latter being taken at 3 means one of the former would be available at 4.
houston is almost a lock to pick one of the busts
Buzelis just had a workout with the Wizards on his IG.
Dang, is he only working with 20 lb dumbbells?
He's probably doing high reps sets
Tbh everything you say is a no brainer
This feels like the trade candidate...
Wizards trade #2 (Castle) to the Spurs for #4 (Buzzelis) and one of their low-end, future firsts.
If Spurs really want to get creative and address a huge need (Shooting),
they perhaps could look at trading #4, one of their low-end, future firsts, Branham and Zach Collins for #2, Corey Kispert and Richauln Holmes - Wizards permitting of course.
I assure you, the ball is much lighter.
Adem Bona to the magnificent Spurs!!!!!!!
this is the Wemby partnership we;ve been waiting for
do itttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt Spurs
kispert is off limits supposedlyThis feels like the trade candidate...

God all this reading to catch up and we are still nowhere, know nothing and probably drafting the next Wesley!
Adem Bona at #35 or #48 would be nice.
Collins isn't the long term answer as backup C behind Wemby. Using #4 or #8 to draft a player like Clingan is too much but a second round pick on a player like Bona is fine.
could we get Looney as back up center??
he will most likely go to a contender.
Wemby at center, Markkanen and Risacher at forwards
DJ Murray and Vassell at guards?
Sochan, Looney, Branham, Trey Jones coming off the bench
