During an appearance on The Young Man and The Three podcast with Tommy Alter, Jalen Williams and Alex Caruso sounded off about how the sport is being covered on a national level, detailing how they believe that national media members simply aren’t watching games as closely as they should, if at all. “I think a lot of it is the national media,” said Williams. “They don’t be watching the games either, if I am being honest. They are what drives it, I think. Whatever they push out is what people are going to respond to. Obviously, what they push out is what the fans are going to think. So you take the foul thing with Shai (Gilgeous-Alexander). He honestly should go to the free-throw line more. He leads the NBA in drives, and we’re like the lowest free-throw shooting team in the NBA. I think there are like six or seven people ahead of him that shoot more free throws. But because the media doesn’t like certain ways he gets fouled, that gets pushed. Just watch the games.”

Jalen Williams ends the first half with 16 points on 50% shooting with two assists, a rebound and steal. Loved his attacks downhill got to the line for 6 attempts in the half. A consistent trend as of late for him which is a good sign for OKC. – 9:10 PM
