Cody Williams named top overall 2023 prospect by On3

Cody Williams was named the top overall class of 2023 prospect by On3

Travis Hunter won’t be the only former No. 1 overall recruit setting foot on the University of Colorado’s campus next year.

On3 Sports released its final class of 2023 top-150 men’s basketball prospect rankings on Monday and Buffs signee Cody Williams was given the top spot on the list.

The 6-foot-8, 180-pound forward is a consensus top-10 prospect who figures to be an immediate star for head coach Tad Boyle’s squad. It will be a homecoming of sorts for Williams as most of his family, including his older brother and Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams, is from the Denver area.

Here is what On3 had to say about Cody Williams’ game:

Cody Williams has great length with broad shoulders, a very predictable frame. He has great instincts, especially on the defensive end of the floor. He is aggressive and instinctive in the passing lanes. Williams needs strength, with the added strength more explosion could come. Offensively, he has some tools across the board. A solid straight line driver in the half court. Would like to see him tighten the handle and straighten up the jump shot. With the added strength more efficiency could come. Younger brother of 2022 lottery pick Jalen Williams.
