William Givens Jr. brings efficient playmaking pop to JWU NC’s backcourt
In the 2025-26 season, William Givens Jr. has opened with a compact but useful all-around line for Johnson & Wales (NC): 3 points, 4 assists and 1 steal in 17 minutes, showing he can organize possessions and contribute defensively even when his shot is not falling.[1][2] His high-school track record points to a bigger offensive ceiling—he averaged 18.3 points per game in 2023-24 and ranked among the better 3-point shooters in his area—so the appeal is a guard who can create, compete and add perimeter scoring if his efficiency catches up.[4]
