Gonzaga getting Johnathan Williams back for senior season

A key member of Gonzaga's strong 2016-17 squad is coming back.

Bulldogs forward Johnathan Williams is returning to school, the team announced Wednesday, after initially declaring for the NBA draft without an agent.

Williams averaged 10.2 points and 6.4 rebounds en route to helping Gonzaga to its first appearance in the national title game.

This will be welcome news for head coach Mar Few, who has already seen Zach Collins and Nigel Williams-Goss declare for the draft and Przemek Karnowski graduate.
