Bayern Munich managing director Marko Pesic confirmed the agreement with former 2nd pick of the NBA Draft Derrick Williams. The forward arrived in Germany last week but he has not made the physicals yet due to an infection.
When former NBA forward Derrick Williams reached agreement on a deal with Bayern Munich in Germany this week, it symbolized his willingness to make a difficult choice that some professional athletes aren’t comfortable facing today: locating a new, unexpected path to his goal.
“For one, they’re in the EuroLeague,” Williams told Def Pen Hoops. “That’s one of the best leagues in the world behind the NBA. My main goal at the end of the day is getting back to the NBA. I think everyone wants to be in the NBA, but sometimes you just have to take a different route.”
Derrick Williams: “When people say, ‘Oh, he was the No. 2 pick, but he didn’t do this and that’, at the end of the day, I proved myself. I’m going to keep proving myself each and every day. I don’t have to prove my work to anybody else. I know what I have to do in order to keep continuing to push for my family, myself and the people surrounding me. As long as I’m giving 110 percent effort, everybody else’s opinion doesn’t matter to me.”
