I gotta tap in more. I have not watched enough of his game. I didn't even bother with many of these conference finals games because they were mostly terrible.

I kinda see the jaylen comparison.. but Jaylen Brown is a bit more explosive and seems to be more comfortable running the offense or being the primary offense, but it's prob an age thing and Jaylen Williams could get more comfortable.

A maximum of 296 million...which could be what the Thunder owe him on his next contract since he made all nba team this year

SGA + JDub + Chet might cost a billi in 2 years

Win/lose Game 7, he's put to rest all the critiques about his game. One of the best #2s in the league.

He stamped now.

Right now he's playing at or above a Jaylen Brown level. For that type of player (bonafide all star but not exactly a superstar) to reach the next level, they gotta decide what path they want to take: a scoring pg/big guard (ala SGA, Luka, LaMelo) or a pure scoring mercenary (ala Kobe, KD, Kawhi, etc).

The former involves really ironing out your facilitation skills and understanding of pace. The latter is more about perfecting your kill zone areas and having a "idgaf" mentality. The latter is where i think he should be.

With OKC, him and Chet don't want to step on each other's toes as the 2a/2b guys and don't really want to demand the ball either, even when their role players (Dort) is throwin up bullshyt. They'll have to figure out that syngergy

I knew what I was talkin about. He has better handles/ball control than JB but the same overall inconsistencies performance-wise. Great one game, mid the next.

He kinda speeds himself up a bit too much, so I think his next logical step would include developing a post-game… which is the de facto way to slow things down. Right now it’s line drive lay attempts or step backs; so he be rushing trying to out-quick everyone, when he can be a bit more methodical.

To his credit, it felt like the Finals forced him to take on that scoring pg role for long stretches too, w/ and w/o SGA on the floor and he embraced it.
