Cody Williams was selected 10th overall by the Utah Jazz during the 2024 NBA Draft, marking a significant milestone for both the player and the Colorado Buffaloes program. Williams, who has been compared to other versatile forwards like Jaden McDaniels, impressed the Jazz with his potential during pre-draft workouts. His selection continues a family legacy, following in the footsteps of his brother, Jalen Williams, who was drafted 12th overall by the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2022. Despite dealing with injuries during his lone season at Colorado, Cody's performance and versatility secured his place in the top 10. The draft also saw another CU player, Tristan da Silva, picked 18th by Orlando, making it a historic night for the program. Cody's enthusiasm for joining the Jazz and his commitment to improving his game align well with the team’s rebuilding strategy.
