Nigel Williams-Goss is entering the NBA draft. The Gonzaga star will sign with an agent and bypass his final year of college eligibility, according to multiple reports.

Williams-Goss was sensational in his debut season for the ‘Zags. He led Gonzaga all the way to the national title game, where the Bulldogs lost to North Carolina by six. He was Gonzaga’s best player throughout the NCAA tournament. Williams-Goss scored 23 against Xavier in the Elite Eight, 23 points again against South Carolina in the Final Four and 15 points against UNC in the title game.

DraftExpress had Williams-Goss projected as the No. 39 pick in the 2018 draft.

Williams-Goss arrived at Gonzaga by way of Washington, where he spent his first two seasons. A former McDonald’s All-American, Williams-Goss led the Huskies in scoring as a sophomore before opting to sit a year to transfer to Gonzaga.

The 6’4 guard averaged 16.8 points per game for the ‘Zags this past season.
