Cody Williams Scouting Report: From the Lens of Older Brother Jalen Williams

In the days leading up to Cody being drafted by the Jazz, Draft Digest had the chance to speak with him and Jalen about growing up together and their upbringing. This was part of a partnership withSTARRY and Buffalo Wild Wings, celebrating brothers both making it to the NBA.

When asked to give a scouting report of his younger brother, Jalen gave a fantastic answer. This knowledge may come in handy the first time these two play, especially given they'll likely spend quite a bit of time matching up on the court.

“He shoots a ball go from catch-and-shoot. So I wouldn't help too much off of that. He likes to hunt those a lot. Good downhill finisher, so you gotta close out under control as well. He's good playing off the catch, runs out in transition, so no transition buckets. Gotta get back. I'll probably say that one of his best things is being dynamic in the transition. Look at the way the NBA is moving right now. The games are fast. The pacers, for example, put up 145 points pretty regularly. So dynamic transition scorer. So be prepared for that, and then good positional defender as well. So can't be lazy with passes. Likes to jump passing lanes. Usually we call the screening contact guys. Try and keep them out of action. Jalen Williams
