Gabby Williams, the former UConn standout, has signed a multi-year contract with the Seattle Storm of the WNBA. Williams, who was the fourth overall pick in the 2018 WNBA Draft, is expected to make an immediate impact on the team.
Williams was a four-year starter at UConn and was a key part of the Huskies’ 2017 National Championship team. She was a two-time All-American and was named the American Athletic Conference Player of the Year in 2017. She averaged 12.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game in her senior season.
Williams’ signing is a major coup for the Storm, who are looking to build on their 2018 WNBA Championship. With the addition of Williams, they now have a talented young core that includes Breanna Stewart, Sue Bird, and Jewell Loyd.
Williams is expected to bring a unique skill set to the Storm. She has the ability to play both forward and guard positions, and she is a great rebounder and passer. She is also a very good defender and has the potential to become one of the best two-way players in the league.
The signing of Williams is a great move for both the Storm and Williams. The Storm get a talented young player who can help them compete for championships for years to come, while Williams gets an opportunity to play for one of the best teams in the WNBA. It’s a win-win situation for both sides.
