Nigel Williams-Goss: “There’s pressure to win now for all 18 [EuroLeague] clubs”

Having had experience with the Utah Jazz in the 2019-20 season following his initial two years in Europe, Olympiacos Piraeus guard Nigel Williams-Goss pointed out the distinct approach NBA teams adopt in contrast to EuroLeague clubs.

“You have to think that the NBA is a much larger business,” Williams-Goss said. “They bring in more money but it also means that there are different agendas. You have certain teams that are building for 3-4 years down the line.

“In Europe, teams don’t do this. Everyone wants to win now. There’s pressure to win now for all 18 [EuroLeague] clubs… We’re not playing for the next year, or after. Everyone wants to win now.”
