SALT LAKE CITY – Welcome to the Utah Jazz mailbag where this week we look at whether rookie Cody Williams can be as good as his brother, Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams.

Then, we’ll respond to as many as we can in that week’s mailbag.

 

Question: Can Cody Williams become better than his brother?

Answer: The short answer is it’s very unlikely that Cody Williams ever becomes as good as his brother Jalen who is on the rare trajectory to become a top 20 player in the NBA.

Jalen is currently the second-best player on the best team in the Western Conference. At just 23 years old, he should have plenty of room to build on his already terrific foundation as a two-way wing with a better-than-20-point-per-game average and upper-echelon defensive instincts.
