Summary:

Not to be confused with former Arkansas’ big man, Jaylin Williams that is now with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Auburn’s Jaylin Williams is a versatile scorer that can make plays on both sides of the ball. He has a variety of skills but can tend to fade into the background too much at times, but he is a skilled forward that could end up being a second round pick in the 2024 draft.
