The Oklahoma City Thunder Have A SECRET Weapon…



The Oklahoma City Thunder Have A SECRET Weapon…

So the Oklahoma City Thunder have pushed her way to second in the Western Conference and to be honest this is very exciting to watch with a vast amount of Versatility on this team they can throw out different lineups to adjust to how other teams are playing them and when

You’re led by an MVP caliber type player in Shay Gil just Alexander it elevates the whole entire Squad although Shay brings the lights to the city there’s someone who steps up to the stage when those lights are on and starts bullying defenses and that is Jaylen Williams

Yeah you didn’t hear me wrong I said bully and Jaylen Williams in the same sentence if you’ve been watching OKC games you have seen the way that Jaylen Williams affects the game from all areas of the floor and it all breaks down into three things for the main one that drops

His game it’s power used as a verb is to move or travel with gray speed or Force watching Williams bully Defenders with his 65 Frame is amazing as it looks like he just hits him with a stun gun before draining the shot watch this play here as Williams has the straight line drop

To the basket there’s only one defender in his way of getting there and that’s my Michael Porter Jr so Williams initiates the contact First to all out move mpj and finish the bucket inside now as we all know with power comes speed and this is the second factor to a

Scoring ability when sizing up the defender When J crosses over he bursts towards the rim in a quickness and now with the step on the defense he can get all the way to the rim and convert theay through the contact with these certain skills it gives Williams an advantage

Over a lot of Defenders but what’s last and certainly not least is his ability to navigate to his spots on on the floor with more power and speed than Curry when he pushes towards the right side and get cut off by Green this is when the court navigation comes in handy and

Now Williams can change Direction with that behind the back and get right to that money spot to drain the shot over Curry on 32 minutes logs per game Williams puts up 19 points per game four rebounds and four assist while shooting 54% from the field and 45% from Deep so

I mean hey judging from those numbers can you not see the value he adds when he steps on the court it’s not even just his ability that to elevate this team offensively but when you look at OKC’s defensive rating when Williams is on the floor they play at a pace of 109

Defensive rating which would rank this team as the number two defense in the league when he’s out there with his 72 wingspan this is probably the most impressive thing regarding jaylen’s physical stats and when you pair that with his quick reaction timing this is just a nightmare for opposing teams you

Better not have a big out there handling the ball like Nas Reed here because in a Flash Williams will poke the ball right out and with that strength he possesses he can absorb the contact and finish for cat now don’t think for one second he’s just picking on big man as even when

Smaller guards try and blow past him he simply swipes their lunch money and when on the break he cradles the ball like a running back to avoid the strip and lays this in off the glass all of these skills we stated earlier directly help him on the defensive end as well because

With court navigation it helps you know where everyone is on the floor so when the double goes at clay this leaves kaminga wide open so Williams slides down to take this away so now when Thompson spins back he launches it over to CP3 but Williams can use that agility

To intercept the pass and to finish off the break he slams it down hard his defense can totally blow up other teams entire plans and since he’s equipped with those great physical tools when he has this long close out on the perimeter JB can not only get out there

But he can get up to block the shot as well which leads to a easy one inside as you can see all of his physical attributes give him an advantage on both sides of the ball and makes him a very versatile player with Williams you can

Use him as an anchor on the defensive end you can put the ball in a chance to go grab you a bucket or you can use him as a off ball option every way will boost the team in a tremendous way as JB can seamlessly transition at any role

The team needs him to play with many holes in the defense to carve through Williams is just a vant at finding those gaps to exploit and this lead his amazing 90% conversion rate on 30 field goal attempts on all cutting layups and dunks when it comes to making yourself

Available within the offense it’s all about timing and being in the right place at the right time with the Wizards having literally no awareness and Kyle kman his own world after jdub sets the screen he can now flow into this wide open space as the Wizards have no paint

Protection and it’s the easy one to send over the top from home grin for Williams to score inside when you’re surrounded by guys like chat who can score from the outside and inside it’ll make Defenders cater more attention to him so when the double comes down low hom green can kick

It out to Giddy in the corner which makes jdub’s man rotate down and now Williams can slice right down the middle to punch this through not only do these reads open up when Chad has the ball but when Shay attacks the paint as well it pulls the whole entire team to him so

Uncovered on Route JB can Coast right to his destination it’s very important that Defenders keep track of Williams when he’s on the court as that will help keep him from dashing to the Lane but I won’t lie it won’t stop him completely if you look here there’s a lot of friction on

This play but with the strength that Williams has he’s able to break away from the defense to receive the pass and then spring up to finish off this offensive possession he can get physical if needed which helps him play through that contact and when he knows he has

The perfect angle to the basket he can Jam the defender so they can’t cover him then release off to catch this bullet from Giddy and it’s another two points on the board this movement all ball is key on the offensive end as it can lead

To many points in close and with JB if his teammates get caught in a sticky situation he’ll make himself available this inside scoring puts a ton of pressure on the rim so defense will try to keep him out but the thing is jayen has a decent handle and a great level of

Physical Tools in his bag so that when he has the live dribble and is creating for himself well it’s safe to say it’s going to be a long day when he gets in his Groove at the time recording this JB drops the ball 12 times per game and

Attempts five shots off of these to convert them at a 53% rate and when looking at his mid-range Jaylen has converted 48% of his 99 attempts so yeah you can see he’s converting pretty well and this is when we really start to see his bully ball nature as he just puts

Defenders in their place and does so with such a confident demeanor if Defenders get out of place for even the slightest moment this allows Williams to attack downhill like a speeding driver so when Prince tries to cut him off it’s a mean hit from jaub which sends Prince

Flying and it’s a wideopen jumper that vicious offhand push and shoulder bump gets the defender off him but if you watch closely when he initiates that contact he bounces right into a shot motion at the same time like watch here when J pushes out this crossover that right arm is right underneath D’Angelo

Russell’s right arm as well so he explodes out which moves Russell back but as this happens he’s already in his shot motion and now DLo is complaining to the ref if you ask me I kind of understand why the Defenders would want the ref to watch this because when he

Starts bullying our vets and then feeding a step back off of it this is just heinous that power helps out tremendously to create space and when he ties it in with that handle that’s when you know he’s in his Zone when you watch Jay du the confidence just oozes out of

Him when he’s on the court and that’s when we finally get to see all his tools put on display versus Golden State when he comes off the screen Jaylen drags the in and out to the left side of the lane and feeds the hesi to finish it off so

This fakes loone out completely but instead of going up for the shot Williams uses that step back to get into the fade I’m trying to tell you these are shots that we would see some young players shy away from or not even look for at all but with Jaylen he has no

Issue with operating in space to get his look but wait one second this isn’t all you have to look out for because if he doesn’t want to stop in that in between area and he wants to make his way inside will you better set up the best barricade because best believe he’s

Coming in with aggression that power comes right back into play as he makes it look like he’s at one of those NBA camps with little kids and trust me I’m not playing around around as this right side is isoled out for jayen to go attack when he stops on a

Dime he pushes clay off of him while snatching behind the back so now this makes clay have a conversation with the crowd and then J can slip this in past Looney train train train train and when I say train I mean getting the gym because when guarding Jade up it’s going

To be a dog fight and you better be ready to go at it he’s just so great at getting into defender’s body before going up and it leads to a ton of open looks and hey even if you try to get up on him on the perimeter he can send you

Flying with that hit stick and then go put down an electrifying slam Defenders must make a business decision when he’s soaring in like that because they could very well end up on a poster but sometimes you may get lucky where he doesn’t slam it on you but with

That strong frame if you do body up with him in the air well he can play right through that contact and finish the bucket is he Flawless nah not at all but when the young kid on the rides is already bullying the whole class soon enough he will be feared but not only

That he will be respected

  1. I have question for you if you dont mind. Who do you think is the second best player between Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren?

  2. Good analysis. He really bulked up in the off-season and is using his strength. Don’t forget he’s 12th in the league right now in 4th quarter scoring and the players in front of him and around him on that list are all first options on their teams.
