As the calendar flips to August, the popularity of Pro-Am leagues skyrocket.
Due to it being the slowest time of the year in the NBA calendar, Pro-Am leagues allow NBA players to scrimmage against a mix of their colleagues and highly talented amateurs.
This was the case for Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jaylin Williams, who participated in OKC’s Pro-Am Skinz League on Thursday. In his appearance, he scored 17 points.
Entering his second season and fighting for rotation minutes, Williams utilized his free time to put in some offseason work against fellow basketball players.
After being selected No. 34 overall in the second round, Williams finished his rookie season by securing the starting center spot for the 40-42 Thunder. With Chet Holmgren’s return though, he will likely return to a reserve role next season.
