Jaylin Williams is and will be the last player in NBA history to wear No. 6, per @EtienneCatalan.
The NBA retired Bill Russell’s jersey number league-wide in 2022 to honor his legacy, but since J Will was already wearing it, he’s been grandfathered in and allowed to use it.

ESPN’s @BobbyMarks42 on the Thunder’s win total this season:
“They're not going to hit 60, they're going to hit 70 [wins]… Even if there’s games where Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Chet Holmgren take the night off, this team has enough depth to get to 70 wins in the Western Conference.”

SBNation’s @SBN_Ricky ranks the Thunder’s core of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren as the best big 3 in the NBA heading into the 2025-26 season.
“The Thunder have the type of big three every team dreams of, and they aren’t going anywhere any time soon.”

Mark Daigneault on the Thunder’s approach through the first two preseason games:
“It was a good opportunity developmentally for everybody that played... In totality we're a week into camp and have accomplished some good things. So we've got to keep improving and keep going here as we go through the preseason."

Jaylin Williams is having himself quite a game.
Feels like a big bright spot from tonight’s performance. He’s even stepping in and drawing charges—something he knows a lot about during his college career with Arkansas.
Jaylin Williams knocks it down from deep!
