Jalen Williams

Despite sharing the late-game, bucket-getting responsibilities with two other fearless up-and-comers, the returns on Jalen Williams’ clutch gene have been nothing short of outstanding. Earning the opportunity to put the plucky Portland Trail Blazers away for good, the skillful second-year swingman veers left under heavy duress, generating just enough space to rise up for a veteran-like fallaway jumper to put the Oklahoma City Thunder ahead for good. Shooting nearly 70 percent in clutch situations this season, Williams did a little bit of everything to ensure his team avoided upset watch, registering 19 points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two blocks in the triumph on January 23, 2024.
