Some perspective on Jalen Williams from a Furman fan's POV -

It was announced a month or two ago that he was transferring to Cleveland State. However, Cleveland State fired their coach and his staff a couple of days ago. Obviously, that could change things.

Williams was transferring solely to get more playing time his last year of eligibility. He was a good teammate and didn't have any issues with the coaches that I know of. He has some distinct strengths and weaknesses. His rebounds per minute and blocked shots per minute rates were near the top 1% in the country. His scoring was limited to layups and dunks, however, and he has been foul prone and was turnover prone his first couple of years. Williams' playing time decreased mainly because 6'7" freshman Jalen Slawson took his place in the rotation. Slawson is also very good as a rebounder and shot blocker but is a better overall athlete and has more potential as a shooter. The current Furman staff really wants to put five players on the court who can shoot the three.
