WNBA Shot Creation Series: Gabby Williams (2026)

A film study on how Gabby Williams manufactures offense for the Golden State Valkyries, broken down by where her shot creation actually comes from. Whether you're a coach, player, or hoops junkie, this breakdown shows how one archetype, the Attacker, shows up on every possession. Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:06 WNBA Player Archetypes 0:20 Transition 2:00 Self-Created 5:35 Off-Ball 9:23 Ball Screen In this video: SELF-CREATED — 35% • Finishes at the rim and pulls up at almost the same rate, so there's no tendency to sit on • Drives to collapse the defense, then finds the open teammate OFF-BALL — 35% • Spots up and takes handoffs on the move; those two carry nearly all her off-ball work • Uses off-ball screens to lose defenders BALL SCREEN — 15% • Attacks the corner on the majority of her pick-and-rolls • Sprays it out when help commits TRANSITION — 15% • Runs the floor and finishes the fastbreak, her single most concentrated action • Flies the wing to beat the defense back Williams is the rare Attacker who creates just as much without the ball as with it: 35% self-created, 35% off-ball. And inside her own creation she's equally likely to finish at the rim or rise into a pull-up. That's an Attacker who's hard to scheme against, because there's no single lane to take away.
