Sounding more like the Chancellor of a high-brow British University than anything, there is a fitting sophistication and pensive nature to Nigel Williams-Goss’ game. The 6’4” guard helped lead his team to the National Championship game this past season at Gonzaga. Sure, Williams-Goss is a high IQ player, but he’s not shown that he’s Tim-Duncan-smart. He’s been knocked for his perceived lack of athleticism, too, but he’s not Jerome James out there.
NWG is most effective when he plays at a dialed-down, deliberate pace. While he certainly has a few tricks in his repertoire to score in isolation, there’s a clear comfort zone for Williams-Goss on the offensive end where he’s much more potent.
