Gabe is developing into a dangerous shot maker from all three levels. He’s a difficult guard, as he’s shown the ability to rise over defenders from the perimeter and mid-range. Williams creates space with pre-dribble jab steps that can lead to a step back or sidestep. Though he is becoming a difficult shot maker, he still has all the tools that make him such an interesting prospect. He flies around for boards and attacks the rim with immense pressure. The do-it-all wing will be a major factor in Bay’s success this season.

It’s safe to say Gabe has maybe the highest ceiling of any player in 1A. As a freshman, he started for Bay and stood out immediately. With his athleticism, Williams is always a double-double threat. He’s extremely physical when attacking the basket and has no problems finishing over defenders. Just going into his sophomore year, the ability to create his own looks will be key for him to take the next step.  

With continued development, Williams projects as a cornerstone piece for his program. His early impact suggests he’ll grow into a reliable two-way contributor and a name to watch in the future.
