How Jalen Williams Quietly Became the Thunder’s Most Unexpected Weapon
The interesting thing about Williams is that he played great against the Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves (two of the top 10 teams in defensive TRACR) and poorly against the Nuggets (17th in D-TRACR).
So this isn’t a case of Williams stat-padding against lesser defenses; rather, he was likely shaking off the last of his postseason jitters against Denver. And now that he has, Williams is ready to fight alongside Gilgeous-Alexander.
Williams’ overall postseason numbers currently sit at 20.4 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 5.3 APG, 1.6 SPG, and 0.6 BPG. Only 25 other players have played at least 10 games in a playoff run and done this and all of them made an All-NBA team at some point in their career.
