Thunder already have a disastrous Jalen Williams problem brewing

Will he ever find his form this season? The Thunder's championship hopes depend upon it.

Part of what has been so impressive about the Oklahoma City Thunder's early-season dominance is the fact that they have largely succeeded without one of their best players: fourth-year guard/forward Jalen Williams.

Williams missed the first 19 games of the season recovering from offseason wrist surgery. In that time, the Thunder went 19-1.

Since he returned, however, Oklahoma City has suffered six losses in his 18 games, and Williams' production appears to have taken a minor step back since last season.
