Every basketball player dreams of the day an NBA team call them to offer him a contract.
Derek Willis had that dream before he signed with the Detroit Pistons, but it did not play out as he thought it would.
“My fiancée actually got the call first before me,” the former University of Kentucky and Bullitt East High School standout said.
When Willis was filling out a form before he signed his contract, he couldn’t remember his agent’s contact information, so he wrote down his fiancée’s, Keely Potts, instead.
However, Willis put Potts’ information in the wrong spot, which is why the Pistons called her first when they were ready to offer Willis a contract.
