The Jazz had to fire two chief scouts when they got a lottery pick.

According to a joint news from SB Nation and Zach Lowe, a well-known NBA reporter, the Utah Jazz have fired two chief scouts. According to this source, they first fired two chief scouts in the weeks before the Jazz chose to hire Austin Ainge as president of basketball operations. However, it is indeed quite surprising that Jazz did not make any statements about this incident. As for the reason why the Jazz fired the two chief scouts, it is also closely related to the team's choice of Cody Williams in last year's draft. The Jazz thought Williams was a very bad choice and could be regarded as a major mistake.

Maybe Williams will be able to play well in the future, and the team hopes that he can play well, but the quality of this draft is really bad, which can be regarded as a major mistake. The team invited Anji as a senior manager, and it was obviously hoped that he could help the team turn the situation around in player inspection and lead the team to the right future. One thing is certain. The Jazz team is looking forward to his arrival to help the Jazz improve their draft and avoid major mistakes like choosing Williams with a lottery draw.

In the NBA regular season this season, Williams played 50 games in 82 games, averaging 21.2 minutes per game, averaging 4.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 1.9 fouls, shooting percentage of 32.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 25.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 72.5%. In the NBA Development League field this season, Williams played 11 times for the Jazz's subordinate team Salt Lake City Star, with averaging 30.2 minutes per game, averaging 17.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks, 2 turnovers and 3.2 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 37.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 28.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 68.4%.

Williams was born in November 2004 and is 201cm tall and weighs 86kg. He is the Jazz's 10th pick in the first round of the NBA Draft last year. Williams was also highly expected by the team. He was considered to have the opportunity to become a 3D type forward player with both offense and defense. However, Williams' performance this season is really terrible. He can be said to be unable to attack or defend in the NBA field, and has not shown any competitiveness at all. Even in the NBA Development League, his performance on the offensive end is a mess. Williams looks like a low-maturity player and he still has a huge gap with a qualified NBA rotation player. Choosing Williams with a lottery draw is indeed a big mistake, at least from the current situation.
