On the NBA stage, it is difficult to win a single-core championship. Throughout the NBA history, there are very few examples of winning a single-core championship. Therefore, in addition to being led by superstars, the "second leader" is also extremely important. The Thunder won a perfect record of 68 wins this year, but the outside world still didn't like them before the playoffs because their second in command was not good. Many fans even said that Jaylen Williams was the most popular second in command. But he averaged 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the Western Conference Finals, becoming a superstar, and he was about to hit the maximum salary.
As the No. 12 pick in 2022, Jaylen Williams is a talented small forward. This year is his third year in the league. Last year, the Thunder successfully entered the playoff stage. Jaylen Williams also averaged 18 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game, showing outstanding strength. In this regular season, Jaylen Williams played 69 games and averaged 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. The Thunders record was the best, and Jaylen Williams was also easily selected as the All-Star substitute.
Many people say that he is benefiting from the Thunder's record. As a third-grade rookie, it is very normal to be questioned if he has not fought a strong battle. After entering the playoffs, the Thunder defeated the Grizzlies 4-1 in the first round. The strength of this group of matches was huge, and the team advanced very easily and did not attract much attention.
In the second round, against the powerful Nuggets, they not only have the league's first player Jokic, but also have top puzzles such as Gordon, Murray, Westbrook, and Braun. The overall strength of the team is also a championship-level position. The Thunder have been at a disadvantage since they fell 0-1 to 1-2. After that, he won Tianwang Mountain and entered the tiebreak battle again, and the Thunder team advanced thrillingly. Jaylen Williams performed poorly in this round. He averaged only 17.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 37% and a three-point shooting percentage of 23%.
So in the eyes of the outside world, Jaylen Williams cannot fight a tough battle, and it is difficult to win the championship as the second in command. However, on the Western Conference Finals stage, Jaylen Williams proved himself, helping the team beat the Timberwolves 4-1. Alexander's performance was impeccable, and second-in-command Jaylen Williams was also getting better, averaging 22.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 49% and a three-point shooting percentage of 46%, with impeccable performance.
On the stage of the Western Conference Finals, he performed efficiently, comprehensively and in an offensive and defensive manner, and was only 24 years old. Jaylen Williams has proved that he can fight tough battles. Not only is he not the most supreme leader, he may even help the team win the championship as the second leader. In the third grade, he is about to hit the maximum salary contract.
