Viral clip shows Jalen Williams in the lab tweaking part of the game the Thunder must win

Although Shai Gilgeous-Alexander can be viewed as the top boss within the OKC Thunder pecking order, Jalen Williams has quickly established himself as the second-in-command on coach Mark Daigneault's roster.

In the 2023-24 season, the 23-year-old continued to record sensational overall averages of 19.1 points, 4.5 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals on 54.0 percent shooting from the floor and 42.7 percent shooting from beyond Depth en route to a fourth-place finish in the Most Improved Player race and an elevated status as one of the game's most promising young studs.

Now, entering year three, the Thunder faithful are hoping Williams continues this sensational momentum and officially launches himself into the legitimate All-Star and All-NBA discussion. Some view such a trajectory as an uncontested lock.

However, in order for him to make this leap, many believe that the striker needs to hone his skills as an offensive creator and initiator. Luckily for Oklahoma City, J-Dub seems to be well aware of this and was recently spotted after practice working on his dribbling, separation and isolation shots.

In the clip captured by team beat reporter Joel Lorenzi, Jalen Williams can be seen executing and making step-back triples after the rebound, focusing on creating space between himself and defenders.

Coach Daigneault has already indicated during this year's training camp that the Thunder are hoping to make him a stronger weapon in that area of ​​the game, believing that adding self-sufficient spots, particularly on the perimeter, can only benefit the club Offensive game as a whole.

Despite being OKC's second-best option last year, Williams struggled to get anything done as only 110 of his 1,355 total points this season came from isolation plays.

His reliance on his teammates to help him get into scoring position was even more evident in the team's second-round matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, where only 38.5 percent of his field goals were made unassisted.

Unfortunately, this proved to be a major debilitating factor during their six-game semifinal loss, as the Thunder seriously could have used a secondary offensive player to pick up the slack while Dallas dialed in against SGA.

From adding reinforcements by signing Isaiah Hartenstein to bringing in a better-fitting two-guard like 3-and-D extortionist Alex Caruso, GM Sam Presti has addressed a lot of weaknesses that were present in this Thunder's rotation this summer Season.

One of the last remaining question marks surrounding this team is who will serve as the consistent offensive initiator behind star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Based on camp quotes and trending video clips, Jalen Williams appears to be the person they'll be looking for.
