On Tuesday afternoon, Nigel Williams-Goss announced on his Instagram page that he was leaving Gonzaga to enter the NBA draft. He will sign with an agent and forego his final year of NCAA eligibility.
After two weeks of anxious waiting following the end of the season, the news that most Gonzaga fans were bracing for finally came. Williams-Goss will join fellow teammate Zach Collins in the NBA draft pool, and leaves the Zags with two key roles to fill on next season’s team. Of course, the impact of Williams-Goss (and Collins) on and off the court cannot be easily replaced.
