Veteran floor general with deep-shooting value and pro-level experience
Derek Needham is a crafty, experienced **guard** whose game is built on poise, shot-making, and playmaking rather than raw athleticism; in recent FIBA play for Montenegro, he averaged **6.5 points and 3.5 assists in 2026** while shooting **44.1% from three** in Liga Endesa-style club play, and his broader résumé shows he can run an offense and score efficiently in higher-level leagues.[2][4][1] He fits teams that need a steady decision-maker, perimeter spacing, and a veteran who understands pace and leverage, though his recent international scoring has been modest and his value is more about control and experience than volume production.[2][8][6]
