Jalen Williams was recently regarded as the Oklahoma City Thunder's best young up-and-comer, according to ESPN insiders.

Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault believes Jalen Williams and his team's natural spirit of competition equates to seeing the best version of themselves night in and night out. After beating the Rockets on Saturday, Daigneault says behind closed doors, the Thunder's competition level never diminishes.

Like Thanos collecting the Infinity Stones, the Oklahoma City Thunder are almost fully healthy. After missing the first 27 games due to a nagging hamstring strain, Jaylin Williams made his 2024-25 season debut in a 123-105 win over the Washington Wizards.

Jalen Williams, who attempted nine shots in the paint, never made it to the free-throw line. OKC's 105-99 win over the Magic was the boiling point.

Oklahoma City has been one of the league’s best teams as the halfway mark on the season approaches, and it seems like they’ll only get better down the stretch.
