The Oklahoma City Thunder announced on Monday they had assigned rookie forward Jaylin Williams to the G League’s OKC Blue.
After he played 11 minutes against the Memphis Grizzlies last week, the Thunder decided to reassign Williams to the Blue.
In six games with the Thunder, Williams is averaging 2.3 points on 35.7% shooting, two rebounds and 0.8 assists.
In eight games with the Blue, Williams is averaging 13.8 points on 61.5% shooting, 9.4 rebounds and six assists.
The second-round pick going back and forth between the Thunder and Blue is likely part of his rookie season plans. With Williams buried on the depth chart, the G League provides him an opportunity to play an expanded role.
