For East Carolina University, there is one basketball player who has added another dimension to the Pirate offense. In the last couple of seasons the men’s basketball team has lacked a true three-point weapon, but now redshirt freshman guard Shawn Williams has stepped up and taken the role head on.
Due to NCAA ruling, Williams did not play during the 2016-17 season, but was given the opportunity to practice with the team during the spring semester.
This year, Williams has shown signs of dominance in his playing time given by interim head coach Michael Perry. Williams has scored in double figures in 13 games this season, while averaging 16 points in the past four contests.
