On Cody Williams, Isaiah Collier, Kyle Filipowski, Ron Holland, Dalton Knecht, Stephon Castle, Rob Dillingham, AJ Johnson and Kel'el Ware.
The 2024 NBA Draft is now in the rearview mirror. Before we take a few months off and start diving into a loaded 2025 class, let’s look at some of the best fits and some of the more questionable ones:With the 10th pick in the draft, the Jazz selected Colorado wing Cody Williams. Williams is the younger brother of Oklahoma City Thunder rising star Jalen Williams, and there are some similarities between the two players. At the Draft Combine, Williams measured in at 6’6.
Utah also added another first-round talent in Kyle Filipowski, who slipped to No. 32 in the draft. There are some interesting off-court rumors surrounding Filipowski, but there’s no denying the on-court ability. Filipowski is a 6’11’’ big man that can shoot the three, score in the post and handle the ball a little bit. He’s also a good playmaker for a big man, and he works hard defensively., we mentioned Lauri Markkanen as a comparison for the Duke product.
Only six teams in the league made fewer threes per game than the Lakers last season. That was almost certain to change the second Los Angeles hired JJ Redick as head coach. But grabbing a 23-year-old that averaged 21.7 points per game and shot 39.7% from deep on 6.5 attempts per game last year is only going to help. Knecht’s combination of shooting ability and size should help him earn big minutes as a rookie.
