Will the OKC Thunder give Jalen Williams' younger brother a strong look on draft night?
The team recently made a trade that sent Josh Giddey to the Chicago Bulls in return for Alex Caruso. While trading the potential of Giddey might have been hard for Oklahoma City, the potential never was going to be realized in a Thunder jersey. Caruso is a perfect scheme fit and will help the team win now.
Now, the Thunder can take a swing on a high-upside pick without much reprecussion thanks to the trade. Plenty of recent mock drafts have projected Tidjane Salauan to Oklahoma City, though Cody Williams has been a mock draft favorite since the cycle began.recently released his mock draft 7.0 giving different franchises new looks with their pick. For the Thunder, Williams was the selection -- pairing him with his older brother jalen in Oklahoma City.
Williams averaged 11.9 points and 3.0 rebounds in 28.4 minutes per game while appearing in 24 games, earning 18 starts. He dealt with injury in his lone season at Colorado, but he posted an impressive 42 efficiency on 3-pointers, albeit on low volume, over the course of the season.
