Former LSU men’s basketball player [autotag]KJ Williams[/autotag] is making his case for playing in the NBA.
The graduate transfer addition from Murray State was a Second Team All-SEC selection at LSU last season, and despite going undrafted in the 2023 NBA draft, he landed with the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Summer League and ultimately made the opening night roster for the team’s G League affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue.
Williams is making his presence known in the organization, and on Wednesday night, he hit a last-second, game-winning three-point buzzer-beater to lift the Blue past the Memphis Hustle.
Here’s a video of Williams’ gutsy shot.
OH. MY. GOODNESS!! 😱

Williams was one of the lone bright spots in a bad season for LSU in 2022-23, and he’s now making his case to get a shot at the highest level.
