Derek Willis: Signs one-year deal with Pistons

The terms of the contract have yet to be disclosed, but it’s likely just a
non-guaranteed training camp deal. Willis, one of the rare four-year players out
of Kentucky, finished his senior campaign with averages of 7.0 points, 5.4
rebounds and 1.0 block across 21.8 minutes. The 6-foot-9 big man showed the
ability shoot from all over the floor, including an impressive 38 percent from
behind the three-point line. If he does ultimately make the final roster, he’d
likely just be a deep reserve in the frontcourt and could see plenty of time
with the team’s affiliate in the G-League.
