Jalen Williams’ Draft Comparisons Didn’t Boost His Confidence While Leaving Santa Clara

Williams said, "They weren't what would make me leave, I got like Joe Ingles." Tony Allen was outraged by the comparison, but J-Dub admitted Ingles was a good player. Williams was happier having James Harden as his projected ceiling. Far outplaying Ingles comparisons, J-Dub averaged 21.6 ppg and earned All-NBA Third Team honors enroute to winning the 2025 NBA championship.
