It makes zero sense how good Jalen Williams is for a second-yr player. Happy for him to be getting his due on a national stage, finally – 11:49 PM

Lu Dort swipes Luka, dives on the floor, tosses it to Jalen Williams. JDub fast break dunk.
Deafening in here. – 11:17 PM

After knocking down a 3, Lu Dort picks Doncic’s pockets, and it leads to an open dunk for Jalen Williams. – 11:17 PM

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams are back on the court warming up for the third quarter. Both were limping late in the half after leg tweaks. Looks like some sort of heating pad on Williams’ left calf. – 10:58 PM

Jalen Williams went up strong, got fouled, in transition. Barks commence again. Late whistles tonight, waiting for shots to come off. – 10:43 PM

Daigneault’s transparency and open communication channels are some of the strongest features of the culture he’s helped build. Jalen Williams talked about how much he appreciated his ability to hold each other accountable and stay on the same page. “We have a lot of straight shooters on our team so it helps when your coach is not beating around the bush,” Williams said. “… I think when you’re trying to avoid confrontation on things that can help guys get better, it slows down progress.” -via OKC Thunder Wire / May 2, 2024
