Summary:
Cody Riley is an athletic, high-motor big man that played very well in his team’s Final Four overtime loss to Gonzaga, as he scored 14 points, and had 10 rebounds and 5 assists in that game. He is an energetic player that can knock down mid-range jumpers, and he also is a fairly solid interior defender. He will need to be more assertive on offense and continue to expand his shooting range, but he currently projects to be a borderline second round candidate in the 2023 draft.
