2024 Fantasy Outlook
After a strong rookie season, Williams took another step forward in Year 2. He boosted his three-point percentage from 35.6 to 42.7, helping him average a career-high 19.1 points per game. The 2022 No. 12 overall pick also increased his assists per game from 3.3 to 4.5. The biggest knock on Williams' game is his lack of rebounds, but that can easily be overlooked given he's above-average to elite in basically every other category. Williams, along with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, have solidified the Thunder as a contender in the Western Conference, and the young trio still has plenty of room to grow. Oklahoma City solidified its depth by adding Isaiah Hartenstein and Alex Caruso, but neither offseason addition is expected to impact Williams' usage. Williams operating as a point-forward for one of the best teams in the league bodes well for his fantasy value, but Gilgeous-Alexander is still the go-to guy in crunch time. If Williams takes another step forward, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return second-round value, but he's a safer pick in the third or fourth round of fantasy drafts. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Williams was exceptional as a rookie for a Thunder squad that fought for a Play-In spot last year. But his usage could take a hit in 2023-24, with Chet Holmgren debuting after a lost campaign due to offseason foot surgery. Either way, Williams figures to play a sizeable role for an ascending Oklahoma City team, and his multi-faceted, efficient style bodes well for his fantasy potential. Williams became a full-time starter in mid-December last year and went on to start 53 of 55 games, missing two matchups due to injury. During that stretch, the 6-foot-8 wing averaged 15.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.5 blocks while attempting 11.6 field goals, 2.9 three-pointers and 2.8 free throws per contest (52.1/37.9/82.7 shooting splits). Overall, Williams averaged 15.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals across 62 starts compared to just 9.8 points, 2.6 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 13 appearances as a reserve. The 22-year-old is not expected to lose his starting job with Holmgren available, but it'll be difficult for him to find more usage.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Massive extension on table?
Williams is likely to receive a massive rookie-scale extension from the Thunder, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Scotto reports the same about Chet Holmgren. With that in mind, it will be interesting to see if both players get maximum extensions or if they both decide to take a slight discount to give the organization some flexibility long term. In his age-24 campaign, Williams produced regular-season averages of 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.7 blocks, 1.6 steals and 1.8 three-pointers across 69 appearances. Locking him up seems like a no-brainer for the franchise.
