Colorado freshman Cody Williams announced in an Instagram post Monday his intent to enter the NBA draft .
Williams, the younger brother of Oklahoma City Thunder standout Jalen Williams, played 24 games for Colorado (18 starts), averaging 11.9 points, three rebounds and 1.6 assists in 28.4 minutes per game.
He shot 55.2 percent from the field, including 41.5 percent from 3-point range.
ESPN listed Williams among its top 10 draft prospects and placed him as high as No. 2 in a February 2023 mock draft.
At 6-foot-8 with a 7-foot-1 wingspan, Williams became a defensive weapon and frequently was assigned to guard the opponent’s top player.
Williams missed portions of the season due to injuries for the Buffaloes, who lost to Oregon in the Pac-12 tournament title game before beating Boise State in a First Four matchup and winning their South Region first-round game against Florida.
Williams scored nine points against Florida and had 12 points and two blocked shots in Colorado’s 81-77 second-round loss to Marquette.
