William Njoku

Career / Comments:
Outlook:
Great shooting touch, which is unusual for a forward of this size. Besides awesome shooting, William also is a powerful inside presence. A great shotblocker using his long wingspan and perfect timing. A very aggressive rebounder both on offense and defence.
