It has been a strong couple of months for former Kentucky Wildcat DeAndre Liggins. After finishing another strong season in the NBA’s Developmental League, earning his second Defensive Player of the Year award, Liggins had a strong showing with the Cleveland Cavaliers summer league team and eventually signed a multiyear contract with the defending NBA champions.
Over the weekend, his team, 3 Ball Premier, won the USA Basketball 3x3 national championship. Liggins’ teammates were Myke Henry, Stefhon Hannah, and Alfonzo McKinnie, and they went undefeated at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
