Jalen Williams is highlighted as a key part of the Thunder's core, capable of significantly contributing to a championship run. His emergence as a talented player, alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, enhances Oklahoma City's competitiveness. Williams' previous performance, including good shooting and defensive skills, positions him well within a reshaped lineup that could contend in the West. If the Thunder were to acquire Bogdanovic and Cam Johnson, the combination of the existing talent with these additions could create a formidable roster.
