It was announced on Thursday afternoon that former Kentucky Basketball star, Derek Willis will be a Detroit Piston. Willis gets some wonderful news as the Big Blue Nation celebrates another beloved Wildcat making it to the NBA.
Derek Willis played at Kentucky for four seasons. When it comes to most of the big named stars out of Kentucky, most of them fall within the five-star rankings coming out of high school. Not Derek Willis. The Mt. Washington, Kentucky native earned his way onto the scene a little differently.
Willis worked to play his way into the lineup amongst high profile players from around the country.
