Jalen Williams Named To NABC All-District Second Team

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Santa Clara junior guard Jalen Williams has been named to the 2022 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division I All-District 9 Second Team. The NABC announced the full list of all-district teams on Tuesday. 

Williams earned a spot on the second team after a banner year in which the Gilbert, Ariz., product led the WCC in scoring with 18.0 points per game en route to earning First Team All-WCC honors. He currently leads the conference with 575 points, which ranks 11th on the program's all-time single-season scoring list and has posted 12 games of 20 or more points, including a career-high 30 point game against Hawai'i. Overall, Williams has scored in double figures in all but two games, with both of those games being 8-point outings. He also recorded just the second double-double of his career with 18 points and 10 assists in the Broncos' upset of No. 22 Saint Mary's. 

Williams is the first Bronco to earn NABC All-District honors since Jared Brownridge was a first team pick in 2016-17. He is one of seven players from the WCC that earned a spot on the first or second team in District 9.
