Stretch forward with rebound juice and steady two-way value
Derek Willis is a 6-9 Kentucky forward whose calling card was versatility: he could space the floor, rebound, and do a little of everything without needing the ball to be effective. At Kentucky, he appeared in 103 games and averaged 5.4 points and 3.4 rebounds, with a notable three-point threat that gave the Wildcats lineup flexibility[1]. He was also a dependable role player who earned starts and showed toughness after battling injuries early in his Kentucky career, making him a fit for teams that value size, shooting, and low-drama production[6][8].
