SJSHOF Male Amateur Athlete of the Year - Jalen Williams

Williams dazzled as a 6-foot-6 guard and made such an impression that he became the first Broncos player drafted by the NBA since Steve Nash in 1996. Not bad for a player whose Twitter bio once read: “Just a guy who rose from the concrete.” Williams averaged 18 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. The Denver native led the West Coast Conference in total points while shooting51 percent from the field. It was a fitting final season for the two-time All-West Coast Conference choice. Williams last year delivered 12 games with 20 or more points, including a career-high 30 points against Hawaii. He is just the fourth Santa Clara basketball player to be selected in the first round of the draft. The only Broncos player to go higher than his No. 12 spot was Ken Sears, who went fifth overall in 1955.
