Colorado freshman guard Cody Williams, projected as a lottery pick, announced his decision to enter the 2024 NBA draft on Monday.

Ranked No. 10 in ESPN’s Top 100 prospects, Williams is renowned for his defensive prowess, often tasked with guarding the opposition’s top scorer. Standing at 6-foot-8 with a 7-foot-1 wingspan, his size poses significant challenges for smaller guards.

As the younger brother of Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams, Cody has displayed a knack for attacking in transition, utilizing his size, footwork, and creativity to finish around the basket, boasting an impressive 59% conversion rate on two-point attempts.

Additionally, he showcased his shooting ability by knocking down 42% of his three-point attempts, albeit on a limited number of tries.

During his freshman campaign with the Buffaloes, Williams averaged 11.9 points, three rebounds, and 1.9 assists while shooting 55.2% from the field across 24 games.

Known for his basketball IQ, Williams follows a developmental trajectory akin to his brother Jalen, who didn’t garner serious NBA attention until his third college season.

Despite facing minor injuries last season, Williams remains a highly regarded prospect, having been considered a potential No. 1 pick early on in mock drafts.
