Auburn’s Jaylin Williams Eyes Summer League Debut
Jaylin Williams, who completed a prolific college career at Auburn University, has been added to the Minnesota Timberwolves' NBA Summer League roster for the upcoming session. The move marks the next step in a journey that began after he went undrafted in the 2024 NBA Draft.
During his final season with the Tigers, Williams averaged 12.4 points per game and earned Second‑team All‑SEC honors, capping a four‑year tenure in which he appeared in 141 games and started 93 of them. His consistent production made him a fan favorite in Auburn and set the stage for his professional pursuits.
Since turning professional, Williams has split time between the NBA G‑League and the Canadian Elite Basketball League. In the most recent G‑League campaign with the Stockton Kings, he posted a career‑high 13.7 points per game, showcasing the scoring versatility that attracted the Timberwolves' attention.
Williams will not be alone on the Summer League circuit. He reunites with former Auburn teammates Dylan Cardwell and Keyshawn Hall, both of whom have also secured spots on NBA Summer League rosters. Their shared history could add an extra layer of chemistry as they vie for roster spots.
The Timberwolves' first Summer League matchup is scheduled against the New Orleans Pelicans, with the game set to air on Prime Video. Tip‑off is slated for 2:30 p.m. Central Time, giving fans an early glimpse of how Williams adapts to the professional pace.
