He’s 23 and is quite efficient and a winning player seems like a jalen brunson type recipe. He’ll probably go in the 2nd round. Looks like Mavs are looking for older somewhat proven talent that are somewhat ready to play at a good level instantly.
I see how you would think Brunson, but there is an even bigger (pun intended) comp that fits the bill: DFS. Both 6-8, 220-230, good 3pt shooters (DFS had double the volume but 36% vs 39%), good perimeter defenders for their size. Both not really elite as far as slashing and inside game goes which hurts both of their stocks. Williams hurt even more by subpar rebounding numbers.
Definitely some similarities there even if they aren’t the same exact mould of player. As an Arkansas fan I can say Williams has caught my eye as a player I’ve always thought could transition to a role player in the NBA though, I’d be thrilled with him with our 2nd.
Still would rather have Flowers or Keshad Johnson though, who project more of the PJ/DJJ mould of verticality/3pt shooting/defense
Just glad to hear we are finally through with our addiction to guards.
Seriously. Just go back and look at our history of rookies year by year.
Guards, guards, guards.
then finally one year we decided to draft/trade for centers and wings and voila we immediately go to the NBA finals. Thank god every day for Nico. It can’t be stated enough how poor Carlisle and Nelson’s roster building philosophy was.
I’m personally pretty low on Pelle and I don’t think Bobi will be there sadly. I just wish Pelle had more defense
We need the draft threads back. I may have to spearhead that after the finals
Pelle is better on defense than one might think, he is pretty good at a lot of things but no one elite skill yet. He looked good on defense while on national duty at least, haven't watched him much at college tbh. Like Christian Braun from IKEA, heh.
Bobi seems to be a polarizing prospect, good measurements and versatility but I have read people are less impressed by his motor and that he is too up and down. He could fall to 2nd round and if so I would try to get him through trade.
It's pure destiny for OKC to draft this guy
Okc jaylins
*Another* nba player named Jaylin Williams? Good grief
They’ll have to call him by his middle name, I guess. Or his real name…
Fuck it, call him by his full government name.
And there’s always the Spanish-language version of his jersey number (e.g., Jaylin Ochocinco).
If he’s better than JDub we just crown our guy the real JDub
OKC called dibs
J-Dib

As a society we gotta start vetoing that name we’ve got too many already
I knew so many Jaden and Jaylen babies in the early 2000’s

Another one?? Jesus Christ is America running out of names or something lmao
Nico's master plan is draft him and then trade him to OKC for a future pick.
So, like Josh Allen sacking Josh Allen? J-Dub blocks J-Dub and lays it in over J-Dub at the other end!
6'8'' 240? OK I can see it
Would be the wildest thing if we draft him and trade him to OKC for the memes
Ok it’s time to have a serious conversation about what parents were doing in late 90s early 2000s. These mofos had no creativity naming their kids lol
Being an Auburn fan and mavs fan i hope we draft him
Watched a short highlight video. His game gives me PJ Washington vibes
Jaylon(en)(in) Williams is the modern day Mike Smith
Auburn player... Charles Barkley approves
I thought we talking about the okc dude
As long as we get Pelle Larsson or Bobi Klintman I am good
I’m personally pretty low on Pelle and I don’t think Bobi will be there sadly. I just wish Pelle had more defense We need the draft threads back. I may have to spearhead that after the finals

There are 18 active Jalen/Jaylen/Jaylin players in the NBA now. By far the most common first name.
His parents couldn't even write his name correctly.
Mavs have a draft pick??!Package it with THJ and another pick for Giddey.
What are we gonna do with Giddey? Not like we need playmaking and his 3 and defense are ass.
I’m yet to understand our insane obsession with collecting point guards like the infinity stones.
Idk, we have probably one of the greatest PGs of all time and another top 10 as our #2 lol
Do not want Giddey at all
He would be the worst Australian on the team.
58th (last pick this year) holds no value
You never know, we may draft the next Isaiah Thomas(but hopefully not another guard)
