Former Kentucky Wildcat forward Derek Willis has enjoyed a fruitful international career since his time in Lexington came to a close. That career was extended for at least another year this weekend.
On Sunday, it was announced that Willis signed a 1+1 contract with Anadolu Efes S.K., a professional team out of Istanbul, Turkey that was crowned as the most recent Euroleague champion. Signing a 1+1 contract means that the first year of Willis’ contract will be guaranteed with the second being a player option.
This will be the sixth international team that Willis, 28, has played for since he left Kentucky following the 2016-17 season.
