The two little brothers, AJ and Cody both played amazingly, but the situation of the big brother is hugely different

Last Draft Conference was indeed not of good quality compared to other recent years, especially those teams that chose rookies first with player talent last season, which was a complete failure. For example, Cody Williams, the Jazz, and AJ Johnson, the Bucks, the choice of their team, seemed to have been deceived a lot.

Cody Williams is the younger brother of Jaylen Williams, a Thunder winner. Before the draft, many media said that Cody Williams has better physical talent than his brother. At the University of Colorado, Cody, who is only 19 years old, averaged 11.9 points, 3 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, shooting percentage of 55.2% and three-point shooting percentage of 41.5%.

is over 2 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.16 meters. Cody, who is only 19 years old, quickly became the focus of discussion, saying that he may become an all-around star player like Paul George. His ranking also once made it to the top ten of the list, and the Jazz, who was missing the front line, finally took it off with a 10-plus pick in the first round.

However, in the regular season, Cody was completely unable to adapt to strength and confrontation. His weight of only 80kg made him unstable on the offensive end, and at the same time, he was unable to stop the opponent's impact on the defensive end. At the end of the regular season, Cody played 50 games for the Jazz, and 21 games were played as the starting player. However, in the 21.2 minutes per game, Cody only handed over a report card of 4.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.5 steals, with a shooting percentage of 32.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of 25.9%.

After the end of the season, some media joked that Cody's contribution to the team was higher than when he sat off the court. The only possibility that he can stay with the Jazz Captain for a long time is that he uses himself as his bargaining chip to threaten his brother Jaylen Williams to join the Jazz.

If the Jazz choose Cody Williams and college data as reference, then the Bucks choose AJ Johnson at the 23rd pick, which seems so "simple and casual". At that time, the defender who was only 19 years old and 1.98 meters tall was predicted in the middle of the second round on all the lists. Before he selected, he averaged only 2.9 points per game in Australia. Many people's perception of him is only when Suns player Jaylen Green releases training videos, this little brother often appears.

However, one needs to admit that AJ Johnson performed better than Cody compared to the rookie season alone. After entering the league, AJ Johnson played only 7 games with the Bucks, averaging 2.9 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist per 6.3 minutes. After being traded to the Wizards in the middle of the season, AJ played 22 games for the Wizards, averaging 9.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 27 minutes per game. Both of the above players represent their respective teams in the summer league this summer.

In the recently concluded Wizards vs. Jazz games, these two young players who were criticized last season completed a face-to-face contest, but it is gratifying that both of them performed well. The Jazz Cody Williams made 9 of 16 shots in the game, scoring 23 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. AJ Johnson, on behalf of the Wizards, made 10 of 16 shots and scored 25 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

Interestingly, these two good brothers in the league are in the opposite situation. Cody, who is about to lose his position in the Jazz, has made a qualitative leap this year, completing the feat of becoming an All-Star, being selected for the All-Star, being selected for the All-Squad, and being selected for the All-Defensive Team throughout the season. He also signed a five-year, $287 million maximum salary contract with the Thunder, which made Cody unable to help but tell his brother that we have money.

AJ Johnson, who was reborn in the Wizards, his big brother Jaylen Green experienced a team change storm during the offseason. The player who was selected as the second pick in the first round of the 21st year became the Rockets' main bargaining chip for Durant. And in the Suns, with Booker in existence, Jaylen Green's role will never be the same as before. Compared with Javi, who was one year later than him, Jaylen has been left behind.
