The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed six-year NBA veteran and former second overall draft pick Derrick Williams to a 10-day contract according to The Vertical’s Shams Charania.
Williams, who will be playing for his fifth team in six seasons, is a former second overall pick but that he hasn’t found success in the league isn’t due to the reasons of former first overall pick Anthony Bennett or former second overall pick Michael Beasley. Bennett lacked the conditioning and simply, the talent, to succeed in the NBA for a long period of time. That’s not totally unsurprising, as Bennett only had one standout season in college.
