Williams didn’t receive his checkmark until his rookie season with the Thunder, where he finished as a Rookie of the Year finalist after averaging 14.1 points on 52.1% shooting, 4.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 75 games.

Growing in popularity as he quickly played his way into being arguably the best rookie of his class, Williams was caught by surprise at the move.
