Vince Williams Jr.

Presented with a nationally televised battle against the Golden State Warriors’ celebrated backcourt, Vince Williams Jr. matched the grit-and-grind mentality of the Memphis Grizzlies with the 3-point accuracy of a “Splash Brother.” Aiming to catch the Warriors’ transition defense scrambled, the second-year wing pushes the tempo, delivering an underhand pass to a teammate for a potential score. Calm and collected after the veteran Warriors foil their plans, Williams Jr. sees the ball swing his way once more before draining a 3-pointer. One of many unsung heroes in the upset victory over Golden State, Williams Jr. contributed 24 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block, and three 3-pointers on January 15, 2024.
