Scouting Report
Strengths
The ability to space the floor and make C&S jumpers.
Efficient finisher at the rim when in transition, driving after spotting up, or cutting.
The ability to get to the rim and finish with efficiency in P&R action.
Defends handoffs and screens well by being able to attach to the ball handler and also switching. Has the length to contest jumpers, play lanes, and block shots at the rim.
Coming Soon...
Weaknesses
Struggle as a playmaker for his teammates. Weakness especially in p&r actions
Didn’t display much of a mid-range/ floater game much of the season consistently.
Uncertain if he can be consistent as a shot creator.
Needs to get physically stronger
Coming Soon...
Summary
Cody is a versatile wing who can do multiple things for a team. He can space the floor for his team and shoot in transition. He is an efficient finisher at the rim when cutting, running in transition, and slashing to the rim after receiving a pick/screen. He has to improve on understanding how to make the right reads if he wants to have the ball in his hands. He also has to improve on being a consistent shot-creator like his brother. On defense, he can defend multiple positions on the court. His long arms and assertiveness make him a threat on defense. He is not the best at moving his feet at times guarding the perimeter, but his length and athleticism sometimes make up for it. I believe if he gets stronger, he can be the team's best defender on the court.

Notes
NBPA Top 100 - Orlando, FL - 6/27 - 7/2/2022
Got to the rim on straight line drives as he attacked close-outs, finished well around the rim. Was aggressive on the defensive end, using his lenght to smother ball handleders. Showed nice feel as a passer in drive and drop/kick action.
Pangos All-American – Las Vegas, NV – 6/5 – 7/2022
Got our and filled the lanes in transition, finishing above the rim. Shot the ball well from the primarly off the catch. Showed the ability to move off the ball getting behind the defense several times for layup.
Coming Soon...
