Derek Willis
Paris Basketball/F/
United StatesPlayer Info
Derek Willis is a stretch forward currently playing for Paris Basketball in France's LNB Pro A, leveraging his size and shooting ability to space the floor. The 30-year-old, 6'9" forward from Mount Washington, Kentucky, played his college basketball at the University of Kentucky, where he was a key role player known for his three-point shooting. After going undrafted in 2017, Willis has built a solid career in Europe, with previous stops in Germany and Poland. His value is clear: he is a classic "stretch four" who can knock down shots from the perimeter, forcing opposing big men to defend away from the basket. While not a major rebounder or defensive stopper, his shooting gravity opens driving lanes for his teammates. In Paris, he serves as an important offensive piece, providing floor spacing for a team that likes to play with pace. Willis's professional path exemplifies the modern basketball specialization, where a single elite skill—outside shooting from the forward position—can secure a long and prosperous career at the highest levels of European basketball.
