Nigel Williams-Goss (Gonzaga) vs. Jevon Carter (West Virginia)

Nigel Williams-Goss is the true leader of Gonzaga with a high basketball IQ. Williams-Goss lead Gonzaga in scoring and assists this season and had an impressive, complete game against Northwestern to lead the Zags to the Sweet Sixteen.

NWG is a crafty, and deceptively quick guard who could find himself being a 2nd round pick to be a nice back-up point guard in the NBA.

Jevon Carter is a gritty, hard-nosed defender who scores the ball impressively well. He plays both ends of the court hard and heads a just as tough West Virginia squad. Carter lead the Mountaineers in scoring (13.3 PPG) and rounded out the stat sheet nicely all year averaging 4.9 RPG, 3.8 APG and 2.5 SPG. Carter shoots the ball well and is a deep range threat.

Only a junior, he most likely will return for his senior season where he could raise his stock and perhaps and NBA would take a chance of him for his hard-nosed defense and ability to knock down a few shots.
