Another former NBA player has signed in a deal in China with the hopes of being the next Jimmer Fredette, which is a sentence I never thought I would be writing…anyway, Derrick Williams, the 26 year old swingman has signed for the Tianjin Golden Lions as a replacement for former Hoosier forward Eli Holman.
During his eight season stint in the NBA, Williams played for five teams with averages of 8.9 points and 4.0 rebounds per game.
The reason for his move to China? A lack of playing time.
Last season, Williams started 11 out of his 50 games for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat and lacked minutes when he did get on court. He has also appeared for the Sacramento Kings, New York Knicks and the team that drafted him second in 2011, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
