Cody Williams Fantasy Stats

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Cody Williams drew praise from general manager Matt Lloyd after arriving from Utah in last weekend's trade. Lloyd told Darren Wolfson of 5 Eyewitness News that Williams' late-season growth helped drive Minnesota's interest, adding, "There was a reason he was the 10th pick in the draft." The 21-year-old averaged 12.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists over his final 30 games last season, though his season-long 21.4 percent shooting from three remains the swing concern. Minnesota wants to evaluate him as a versatile wing defender in camp, though Jonathan Kuminga, Jaden McDaniels, and Terrence Shannon Jr. leave Williams fighting for reserve minutes rather than a fantasy-ready role.

The Utah Jazz are sending guard/forward Cody Williams and John Konchar to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Josh Green and cash, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Minnesota is expected to keep Williams and waive-and-stretch Konchar, giving the No. 10 pick from 2024 a fresh opportunity after two uneven seasons in Utah. The 21-year-old averaged 8.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 0.8 steals in 24.3 minutes across 67 games last season, including a career-high 41 starts. His post-break growth was encouraging, but the jumper remains the issue after he hit just 21.4 percent from three last season and 23.7 percent for his career. Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) is recovering from surgery, but Terrence Shannon Jr. and Ayo Dosunmu are also part of the wing/guard competition. Williams is worth monitoring in camp, not rostering yet.

Utah Jazz forward Cody Williams recorded 17 points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two blocks across 34 minutes in Saturday's 103-102 Salt Lake City Summer League overtime win over the Atlanta Hawks. Williams shot 8-for-13 from the field and hit his only three-point attempt, giving Utah a strong two-way line next to Darryn Peterson's scoring outburst. The 21-year-old averaged 8.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists last season, so the defensive stats and efficiency stand out most. His fantasy value still depends on earning a steadier regular-season role.

Utah Jazz guard Cody Williams (shoulder) is upgraded to available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The second-year guard is back in the mix after missing Monday's game due to right shoulder soreness. Williams has been posting better numbers lately with a larger role in the rotation. He's averaging 16.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.6 assists across 35.0 minutes per game over his last nine contests. His value is certainly on the rise with the Jazz focused on playing their younger players down the stretch of the season. Fantasy managers in need of a streaming option should take a look at Williams.

Utah Jazz guard/forward Cody Williams (shoulder) won't suit up on Monday night against the Toronto Raptors. He has been ruled out after Utah initially listed Williams as doubtful. The 21-year-old has been one of the offensive leaders for the Jazz recently, averaging 14.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game as a starter. With Williams out, Utah is promoting John Konchar to the starting lineup, giving him extra fantasy value.

Utah Jazz forward Cody Williams posted a team-high 23 points in Wednesday's 86-76 Summer League victory against the Washington Wizards, shooting 9-for-16 from the field and 3-for-6 from downtown. He also did his part defensively by picking up a pair of steals and finished his line with two rebounds and two assists. Williams had a slow start to Summer League action in Salt Lake City, averaging 11.7 points, but he's been sharp with his play in Las Vegas. With four games played, Williams has notched 20-plus points three times. The 20-year-old is working hard to prove himself enough to secure a regular spot in the Jazz rotation for his sophomore season.

Utah Jazz forward Cody Williams logged 22 points (8-for-17 on field goals, 1-for-6 from three-point land, 5-for-6 on free throws), eight rebounds, four assists and three steals across 36 minutes on the floor in a 103-93 Summer League loss to the Warriors on Sunday. The 20-year-old has shown some growth over the summer. However, before earning a consistent spot in Utah's rotation, he still needs to improve from behind the three-point line, where he has shot just 23.5 percent during the previous two Summer League games.

Utah Jazz forward Cody Williams scored 21 points in the Summer League loss to the Charlotte Hornets. The 20-year-old had trouble shooting the ball on Friday night, going 8-for-19 from the field and 3-for-11 from deep. He also didn't do much outside of his contributions on the scoring end. Williams finished his inaugural year by averaging only 4.6 points. While he's shown some signs of growth this summer, he has more work to do before earning a consistent spot in Utah's rotation, including improving his 25.9% shooting from behind the three-point line as a rookie. As of now, Williams isn't worth selecting in any fantasy format heading into the 2025 campaign, although there could be some streaming opportunities if guys like Ace Bailey and Lauri Markkanen get hurt.

Utah Jazz forward Cody Williams (illness) will not play on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. He is battling an illness, and the team has ruled Williams out for Monday's contest after initially listing him as questionable. Williams' exit from the lineup opens up a spot in the starting unit. Utah will roll out Isaiah Collier, Brice Sensabaugh, Johnny Juzang, Kenyon Martin Jr., and Kyle Filipowski to start the game. Sensabaugh, who has shot an impressive 50.6 percent from deep on 5.3 attempts this month, will benefit the most from Williams' absence.

Utah Jazz guard Cody Williams put together a solid game from the floor during Saturday's win over the Dallas Mavericks. Williams struggled in three games during the summer league, but he picked it up during his exhibition contest. He went 9-for-15 from the field, while scoring 21 points, three rebounds, and four assists in the win. The lottery pick was able to hit three shots from beyond the arc as well across his 31 minutes of action. Williams should see significant playing time on the rebuilding Jazz roster. Hopefully he'll be able to build off this performance going forward.
