Jazz draft pick Nigel Williams-Goss spent his first pro season in Serbia. The Gonzaga star is happy to go back, but he’d like another crack at the NBA first.

It was just a walk to the bank, but Nigel Williams-Goss found himself interrupted.

A stream of workers rushed out of a bakery across the street from where he was walking, wanting autographs and pictures. Before he could free himself of the gaggle of fans, they gave him a cake with his jersey number on it.

These basketball-crazy admirers aren’t in Spokane, where Williams-Goss became a local legend for leading Gonzaga to the NCAA finals. This is in Belgrade, Serbia, where the former college star and Jazz draft pick has started cementing another chapter of his basketball career.
