Kelsey Plum Envisions Gabby Williams as a Future WNBA Superstar

Kelsey Plum believes that Gabby Williams possesses the necessary talent to rise as a prominent star in the WNBA. Known for her defense and versatility, Williams, now with the Golden State Valkyries, has displayed her offensive skills during the 2026 WNBA playoffs, highlighting her growing importance to the team.

In a recent conversation on the Girls Tripp podcast, Plum commended Williams for embracing her increased offensive responsibilities. Williams scored 26 points in Game 1 of the 2026 WNBA Finals, leading Golden State to its first-ever Finals victory. Despite prior challenges in her previous role at the Seattle Storm, Williams has thrived under coach Natalie Nakase, showcasing her ability to impact the game on both ends of the court. With her impressive playoff performances, Plum foresees Williams becoming one of the WNBA’s prominent two-way players if she can maintain her offensive production while adapting to the challenges of being a primary scorer.
