The Nuggets have reached an agreement on an Exhibit 10 deal with Auburn forward Jaylin Williams, who went undrafted on Thursday, reports Bennett Durando of The Denver Post (Twitter link).
Not to be confused with the Jaylin Williams (or Jalen Williams) in Oklahoma City, this Jaylin Williams is a 6’8″ forward who has spent the past five years with the Tigers. He enjoyed his best college season in 2023/24, setting new career highs in PPG (12.4), FG% (.574), and 3PT% (.395) across 34 games (24.1 MPG).
Denver has also agreed to sign undrafted rookie free agent Jahmir Young to an Exhibit 10 contract, per Jon Chepkevich of DraftExpress.com (Twitter link).
Young has a decorated college résumé that includes a trio of All-Conference USA nods with Charlotte during his first three NCAA seasons and a pair of All-Big Ten berths during the past two seasons with Maryland. In 2023/24, the 6’2″ guard averaged 20.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 4.2 assists in 35.4 minutes per game across 32 starts, with a shooting line of .404/.324/.900.
The Nuggets have been busy since the second round of the draft ended on Thursday. Besides lining up Exhibit 10 deals for Williams and Young, they’ve also already reportedly reached two-way agreements with PJ Hall and Trey Alexander.
Damn OKC missed out
They’re gonna trade for him someday
Maybe they’ll also hire Jason Williams as a coach.
30 percent of the league is now some variation of the name Jalen.
