Jalen Williams is young and in his 3rd season. He’ll be fine and he’ll probably surprise you in game 7 at home.

He's been pretty inconsistent but a net positive for the team this series and its X factor.

I hope so. This dude looked putrid tonight and is hurting his brand going forward big time.

Bruh.. for his sake and I know he's about to sign a contract this upcoming season.. he better step up or fake some injury. It's either or.. or else money goes bye bye.

Doesn’t even look like an NBA player

Looking like he swapped places with his brother this game. He'll bounce back though.

He’ll still get the max. In the player empowerment era you’re not allowed to hurt anyone’s feeling. How do you expect him to play hard knowing he’s only making 30 million a year instead of 40 million ?

He'll be making $49M.

Even if he has another bad game, people are so predictable with this. They expect consistency and excellence to come immediately for young players and kill them when it doesn’t. Is this an earnest tradition of impatient stupidity or are people just having fun play acting it?

OKC is going to have some massive problems if their second option keeps laying eggs like this and demands a max.

The Thunder might need to start seriously thinking about consolidating their talent. Maybe make a run for Giannis.

Feels like Chet should be the 2nd option.

Oh yeah he might make 3rd team all nba so he’ll be eligible for the supermax 5/250

They can't give it to him. If they agree to give him a max contract there has to be a stipulation that it can't be a supermax, or structure it so it falls just short.

OKC has been so good that we forgot about their youth. Jalen is in year 3. I think he’s capable being a #2 on a champion when he hits his prime. Unfortunately he may not be there yet.

Should. Isn't. He's still a year or two away too, I think. He's so skinny still. Williams needs to be a top notch #2 if they're trying to beat the Wolves or whoever comes out of the East.

Dude, they're still so young. If the refs bite the whistle, the Wolves are going to murder them on the wings. They've got too many big forwards to go with Ant.

Jalen is 24. Not exactly super young. That’s 2 years younger than Doncic and 3 years younger than Tatum. Those guys have been great for ages.

Unfortunately he’s been playing like his little brother in Utah.
