Willie Clayton is enjoying playing basketball professionally in Turkey

While only playing one year in a Georgia State Panthers uniform, former basketball player Willie Clayton was determined to make the most out of his opportunities during his time with the program. While many may be unaware, Clayton is now establishing a name for himself playing professional basketball overseas for Cyprus Girne basketball in the EuroLeague.

“I’m playing professionally in Turkey right now; it’s the second league, and I’m really enjoying my time here,” Clayton said.

Clayton is 6,097 miles away from Atlanta, Georgia, so he has had to adjust to many things, including a six-hour time change.
