Here’s Oklahoma City Thunder big man Chet Holmgren on Jalen Williams’ superb performance during Monday’s 120-109 NBA Finals Game 5 home win vs. the Indiana Pacers (40 points/6 rebounds/4 assists/1 steal/14-25 FG/3-5 3-PT/9-12 FT/+14 +/-).

(via Oklahoma City Thunder):
”He’s one of those guys that you want to see succeed, especially when you know him personally. You want to root for him. You want him to do good just because he shows up every single day, does the right things. He’s a good guy off the court, treats everybody well. He’s always respectful. And he works really hard. So you want to see it pay off for him, and not only tonight, we’ve seen it: we don’t get here without him playing as good as he’s playing. So we’ve got to make sure he gets his credit, gets his flowers. I’m sure he’s not taking tonight and feeling accomplished. We still have a job to get done. We still have to focus on that. And I’m sure that’s where his mindset is.”
