Gabby Williams claimed a silver medal with France and secured a spot in the All-Star Five. Now, the French forward can also look back with pride on another individual accolade.
Gabby Williams, who was the driving force behind France’s silver medal at the Women’s Olympic Basketball Tournament Paris 2024, received the Best Defensive Player award.
Although she was very effective at both ends of the court, the forward set the pace for her team from the first tip-off in Lille.
Williams cemented her reputation as one of the best defenders in global women’s basketball with her performances for Les Bleues.
With his intelligence and reading of the game, his steals created countless counterattacking opportunities for France.
With her tireless work ethic in every game, Williams proved that there are few, if any, defenders who are better both on and off the ball.
