The Miami Heat added some forward depth Friday when they signed former No. 2 overall pick Derrick Williams to a one-year, $5 million deal, per Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical.
Williams later tweeted confirmation he was Miami-bound.
This comes after Wojnarowski reported Williams “passed on his $4.6 million player option for the 2016-17 season” with the New York Knicks and elected to test the open market as a free agent.
Williams entered the league in 2011 out of Arizona. He played for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Sacramento Kings and Knicks in his first five seasons and has developed into a solid scorer.
