Jalen Williams has done everything right over his first three seasons in the NBA. He’s so far averaging 21 points per game in his breakout third season. The Thunder are expected to be the team to beat in the West this postseason and a lot of that pressure will fall on the shoulders of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. However, their secret to winning will be how valuable Jalen Williams can be. Williams can play shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center, which gives the Thunder more matchup and lineup choices when they face their strong competition in the playoffs. If SGA and Williams both play well, and Chet Holmgren is healthy, they should be stronger than any other team. 2/25/2025
