Oklahoma City Thunder
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Williams was moderately productive during his rookie season, taking advantage of a season-ending injury to Chet Holmgren before any real basketball had been played. He finished just outside the top 250 in standard leagues, averaging 5.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.6 steals. With Holmgren now fully healthy and slated to assume the starting center role, the short-term outlook for Williams is far from positive. It is likely he will remain in the rotation, although there is almost no way he exceeds the 18.9 minutes per game he saw last season. Given what we know, he should only be considered in very deep formats. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Williams was born June 29, 2002, in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Williams played basketball for Northside High School in Fort Smith, Arkansas. As a sophomore, he helped his team reach the Class 7A state final. In his junior season, Williams averaged 16 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks per game, and he was named Arkansas Division I Player of the Year by the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. He led his team to the Class 6A state title and was named tournament MVP after recording 20 points and 16 rebounds in the title game. As a senior, Williams averaged 18.7 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.5 blocks per game, earning Arkansas Gatorade Player of the Year honors and repeating as Arkansas Division I Player of the Year. A consensus four-star recruit, he decided to stay close to home, committing to Arkansas. As a freshman at Arkansas, Williams struggled to see the court. He flipped the script during his sophomore year when he became a regular starter, averaging 10.9 points and 9.8 rebounds per game, receiving first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) honors from the league's coaches. He was a second-team All-SEC selection by the Associated Press and made the All-Defensive Team. He declared for the NBA draft and opted to forgo his remaining college eligibility. The Oklahoma City Thunder selected Williams in the second round of the 2022 NBA Draft with the 34th overall pick, becoming the first player of Vietnamese descent to be drafted in the NBA.

COklahoma City Thunder
March 30, 2023
Williams leads the league in charges drawn this season, successfully drawing 38 charges in just 45 games this season.
ANALYSIS
Williams' 38 charges drawn is well ahead of teammate Kenrich Williams, who ranks second league-wide with 26. Jaylin Williams accomplishing this feat in just 837 total minutes is eye-catching. However, it's also on-brand, as Williams led the NCAA in charges drawn last season at Arkansas.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
A two-year big out of Arkansas, Williams was selected by the Thunder with the 34th overall pick in the 2022 Draft. He's a dirty-work player and solid defender, but his athleticism is a question, as is his shooting. OKC is an excellent place to develop, but Williams may spend a lot of time in the G League. In Summer League, he averaged 3.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 0.6 steals in 18.1 minutes.
