Jaylin Williams is the next Mr. Thunder

JWill is the heir to Nick Collison’s throne as the culture/vibes cornerstone of the Thunder. He plays solid limited minutes as a big, sets screens and takes charges, plays the glue guy role from the bench and in post-game interviews, and is always smiling. His vibes are definitively immaculate

He’s also about the same size as Mr. Thunder himself, with similar impact, usage, and efficiency, though Collison felt like a bigger piece of the early Russ/KD years. Nick didn’t play pro til he was 24. JWill is only 21 and had already played 13% as many career games as Nick had, a lot of time left to grow
