Jaylin Williams was a second-round pick of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2022 NBA Draft and has wasted no time making an impact in the pro ranks.
Williams was an elite charge-taker during his time in Fayetteville, and he’s carried that skill over into the NBA at a historic rate.
Since the NBA began tracking “hustle stats” in 2016, no one has drawn charges at a higher rate than Williams, who draws a charge every 21.8 minutes of play, on average:
Former Razorback, Jaylin Williams, is currently LEADING THE NBA in charges drawn per minute played and has the highest charge rate in 7 years since the NBA started tracking “hustle stats” in 2016.
