Thunder Re-Firma The great man Jaylin Williams, Dillon Jones Commercial Guard in Wizards
Fresh of their parade of victory with Champagne, the front office of Oklahoma City has been able to work next season. They blocked a long -standing part of their bench in the great man Jaylin Williams, while mistaken a rookie who played a limited role in the Dillon Jones guard.
Williams and The Thunder agreed on an extension of the three -year contract and $ 24 million, Shams Charania reports by Espn. Williams, a choice of the second round of the Arkansas who was with the Thunder for three years, is a power/center that came out of the bench for 47 games last season for Okc. While the minutes were limited when both Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartentein were healthy, when Williams intensified with 5.9 points and 5.6 rebounds a game while shooting 39.9% from over the arch (in about three attempts one game).
Williams has become of age with the young nucleus of thunder and is part of their chemistry. The Thunder kept him on a fair contract for both sides: the third year is a player option.
The Thunder also exchanged Dillon Jones and a choice of the second round at the Washington Wizards for Colby Jones. Once the trade is completed, OKC will give up Colby Jones. The choice of the second round in this agreement is the choice of the second 2029 round of the Houston Rockets, which the Wizards controlled.
Oklahoma City needed to open a place of roster with 15 players under contract for next season, and having just enlisted Thomas Sorber from Georgetown with choice n. 15 In the draft of this week’s NBA.
The Wizards initially selected Dillon Jones at n. 26 In the first round of the NBA draft of 2024, then they exchanged it on the draft night in New York, which launched it to Oklahoma City. He scored on average 2.5 points and 2.2 rebounds per game in 54 games last season, playing 10.2 minutes per night. In Washington, Jones joins a very young team who tries to find and build a young nucleus, and Jones should have the opportunity to test himself there.
