The unexpected downside of Jalen Williams returning to Thunder rotation

The OKC Thunder are excited to have Jalen Williams back in the rotation, but will his return from injury cause a dilemma for the team?

With Ajay Mitchell taking a step forward this season, one has to wonder if Williams' presence will prove to be an obstacle for the sophomore reaching his full potential.

Williams scored 11 points and added eight rebounds in what wound up being a 123-119 win over the Phoenix Suns during Friday's debut. An All-Star last year, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander believes Williams' performance will only improve as he adjusts to playing in the NBA on a consistent basis once again.
