Derek Willis is close to agreeing with Paris Basketball for the 2025-26 season, as reported by Christos Tsaltas. The 30-year-old forward, who played last season with Anadolu Efes, is set to bolster the French club’s roster.
Replacing Jantunen’s Departure
Willis is expected to fill the void left by Mikael Jantunen, who is moving to Fenerbahce. His experience from Efes, where he averaged 6.5 points and 3.8 rebounds in the EuroLeague, makes him a strategic addition for Paris.
Career Context
After stints in the NBA G League and Europe, including a standout college career at Kentucky, Willis brings versatility to Paris, aligning with their EuroLeague ambitions following a strong 2024/25 season.
