Hays Tech, he received the All-KJCCC D1 West Conference First Team award, showcasing his talent and skill on the court. Currently playing professionally in Australia, Gibson recently led the Waverley Falcons to a surprising victory over the second-ranked Chargers with a score of 90-75 in the Australian NBL One, the second division of Australian basketball. In a standout performance, Gibson was named the MVP of the game after recording an impressive 30 points and grabbing 8 rebounds in 36 minutes of play. This remarkable display of skill is even more noteworthy considering that he is only in his third season of professional basketball. Despite the Waverley Falcons being ranked 11th in the South group with a 2-3 record, Gibson's stellar performance highlights his potential as a true champion. His impact was particularly evident in the game against Hobart C., where he scored 30 points and secured 8 rebounds, leading his team to victory. With an average of 16.6 points per game and 5.8 rebounds per game in the five games he has played so far, Gibson is having an exceptional year with impressive statistics. As the season progresses, Gibson's talent and determination position him as a formidable force on the court and a standout finalist in the league.

Despite his efforts, Robinson could not help Braga (8-12) secure a victory against the dominant Benfica (18-2) in the Portuguese Liga Betclic Masculina. In the game, Robinson managed to score 4 points, grab 5 rebounds, and dish out 4 assists in 23 minutes of play. Braga suffered a heavy defeat on the road, losing 108-77 to Benfica, who are currently leading the league. With only two games remaining in the Regular Season, each game becomes crucial for Braga. This is Robinson's first season with the team, and he has been putting up decent numbers throughout the season. Despite his solid performance against Benfica, contributing 4 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists, his team fell short of victory. In 16 games this season, Robinson has been averaging 7.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.4 steals per game.

Hays Tech from 2014 to 2016, where he received the NJCAA D1 All-Region VI Honorable Mention award. Despite his impressive credentials, Williams was unable to lead the Carolina Chosen Lions (0-6) to victory in their recent game against the Cavaliers, where they suffered a crushing 133-93 defeat in Petersburg. In the match, Williams showcased his skills by being the top scorer for his team with 25 points and contributing 7 rebounds.
