Courtney Williams

Courtney is an experienced top quality guard. Very good shooter with range and scorer. Fast in transition, explosive first step, tough to defend one on one. She can create her shot, she can finish she can create for other. She is a leader. When she draws attention from the opponents she can easily become the facilitator. For her size and position she is a very good rebounder. On top of all she is a hard working player that is getting better every year.
