Summary

David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, sets expectations for Cody Williams as he enters his second year with the Jazz. Rather than focusing on Cody’s status as the 10th pick in a notoriously weak draft class, Locke urges fans to shift their perspective, comparing Williams to rotation role-players like Naji Marshall, Tamari Camara, and Herb Jones. He outlines Williams’ path toward becoming a reliable defensive contributor, capable of playing 22–25 minutes per night, tallying points, rebounds, and assists, and providing energetic, versatile defense—while emphasizing the necessity for improvement as a three-point shooter to secure a lasting NBA career.
