Cody Williams NBA Draft Projection: Where Will Colorado Forward Land?

One of the nation’s best all-around talents at the forward position in men’s college basketball last season is off to the pros, with Cody Williams departing CU after a single season where he averaged 11.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. Williams departs Boulder off a season where he was named to the final Pac-12 All-Freshman team, guiding CU to the program’s winningest regular season in program history (26-11) across Colorado betting apps and a second round berth in the 2024 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.

The Arizona native is a consensus first round talent in this week’s 2024 NBA Draft, which means he’ll likely take the stage with Commissioner Adam Silver at Barclay’s Center on Thursday night when his name is called.

With that in mind, BetColorado.com - home to the top Colorado sportsbook promos - broke down some hypothetical odds on which franchises have the best odds of drafting the 19-year-old out of CU on Thursday night.
