Described by general manager Sam Presti as a “source of energy,” Williams brought a loud voice to the Thunder’s road to the NBA championship.

Williams spent two college seasons at Arkansas. The Thunder drafted Williams with the No. 34 pick of the 2022 NBA draft. He's been part of their rotation in his three seasons in OKC. He was a starter in his rookie season and has been mostly a bench player since.

The OKC Thunder has signed Jaylin Williams to a three-year, $24 million contract extension, per ESPN's Shams Charania.
