Prospect Profile
A former top 100 recruit, Williams has experienced an interesting college career. After a breakout sophomore campaign, he saw a reduced role as a junior off the bench. However, he had another resurgence last season as a senior in what was a a career year. As a starter in year four, he averaged a career-best 11.4 points per game, 4.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 35.4% from deep. The ability to stay composed throughout the ups and downs over the past few years is impressive and Williams' improvement is overall positive.
A 6-foot-8 with the ability to do a bit of everything, he projects to be a quality role player at the next level. While at Auburn, Williams has played alongside numerous NBA talents. He’s filled multiple roles and has showcased versatility and the ability to adapt to what the team needs. His skillset and ability to slot into many different types of lineups makes him an easier fit on nearly any team relative to other second-round talents.
There’s no guarantee he’s selected in the 2024 NBA Draft, but Williams does have what it takes to make it in the league. He's the type of prospect that will need to have a great pre-draft process meeting and working out with teams.
Draft Projection
Potential Second-Round Pick in 2024 NBA Draft.
Jaylin Williams (Auburn) isn't a bad consideration for the undrafted ranges. Although he's somewhat undersized at 6'8 to rally be playing power forward, He's burly and tough and versatile with solid athleticism and physicality. He'd be a decent two way or exhibit 10 project to bring in for our G league development. Overall, he's a mix of David West, and a smaller Sheldon Williams?Spoiler:
Ideally you take him on a two way or exhibit 10 and develop him hoping he can become a slightly bigger, stronger version of what we had with Jae Crowder as that'd be his ceiling outcome. But overall, he's a very solid, versatile forward that would be a value option as long as it's not at the expense of a first or early-mid 2nd.
5 years at college with meh minutes and stats and he is basically 24 years old already...on paper doesn't look good enough for the NBA.
We are gonna have to fill those three 2-way spots but hopefully with youngsters with a more interesting profile.
