Jalen Williams on his brother Cody: 'It would be dope if we get to play with each other on the same team'

“I was sad,” Jalen said. “As vague of an answer as that is, we have a really close family. That vibe is not something you can buy or just make. Especially with our ages, there’s no real age gap on our team. Everyone is kinda the same age and going through the same experiences together.” Giddey began his career with the Thunder but found his role shift throughout last season and playoffs. The NBA recently closed its investigation into off-the-court activity after being able to find no credible wrongdoing. Jalen explained that playing for the Bulls could represent a fresh start for Giddey. “I think Josh had to go through a lot this year,” Jalen continued. “I was glad we were there and able to help him with all of it and be there with him. And it was really fun to play alongside him. He’s going to go to Chicago and kill it out there and bloom.” -via OKC Thunder Wire / June 25, 2024

Monk—who really put himself on the map, fashion-wise, this season—was making his first-ever appearance in the bracket. On his way to becoming Most Stylish, he beat out fellow upstart Jalen Williams in the first round. Then, he had to go through two veterans of both the NBA and its fashion scene: Russell Westbrook and LeBron James. That set him up for the final showdown against SGA, who went through PJ Tucker, Jayson Tatum, and Devin Booker to get there. -via GQ.com / June 21, 2024
