Derrick Williams, the No. 2 pick in the 2011 draft, will join defending Turkish Cup champion Fenerbahce, relays Emiliano Carchia of Sportando. Williams has reached agreement on a one-year contract.
It will be the third overseas team for Williams, who was never able to find a long-term NBA home. He signed with China’s Tianjin Gold Lions in 2017 and spent this season in Germany with Bayern Munich.
The 28-year-old forward was ticketed for stardom after two stellar years at Arizona, but lasted a little more than two seasons in Minnesota before being traded. He played for six teams in seven seasons, and his last NBA experience came in a 10-day contract with the Lakers in March of 2018.
Butler, Leonard, Kemba, Klay, and Vucevic all went after Williams. Yikes!
He’s running out of countries.
You don’t have a real grasp on how many countries exist do you?
The #2 Selection can be a franchise defining pick. Pick rite and the playoffs can be in the horizon sooner rather than later. Pick wrong and chances are you’ll be doing a do over next year. hahaha
After working with Obradovic many contract will take on Nba next year.
I remember I wanted cavs to take him over Kyrie, Whoops
Well the FO waited to the last minute to pick, as far as has been reported.
