Thunder drafting Jalen Williams keeps getting more impressive as his class falters

Playing through the fourth year of his career, OKC Thunder forward Jalen Williams has already achieved feats in the NBA that most players can only dream of.

He has won a title, earned an All-Star nod, and been recognized on the All-Rookie, All-Defensive, and All-NBA teams.

He is continually proving that the Thunder found a needle in a haystack in what is turning out to be a dismal draft class.

Outside of the other Thunder homerun pick, Chet Holmgren, the class of 2022 is proving to be disappointing at best.

Number one overall pick Paolo Banchero has had his moments, but he has yet to lead the Magic past the first round of the playoffs, and his numbers have severely regressed so far this season.
