Willis was a member of USA international program for some years. He was called to USA Senior National Team in 2017 and previously for U18 National Team back in 2012.
Willis is quite experienced player. He has played also professionally in NBA (New Orleans Pelicans and Detroit Pistons), NBA G League (Grand Rapids Drive), NBA Summer League (Phoenix Suns) and The Basketball Tournament (Bluegrass Boys). Willis' team made it to the Bundesliga Semifinals.
The list of the past achievements is quite long as among others he was voted Eurobasket.com All-German Bundesliga Honorable Mention in 2019.
Willis attended University of Kentucky until 2017 and it will be his fourth season as a professional player.
Doncs té molt bon currículum el Willis, i arriba en l'edat perfecte pel bàsquet.
No cal ser gaire expert per a veure que hi hem guanyat amb el canvi Willis-Margarity.
Un altre tema és que pinta que el Willis deu costar bastant més que el suec, a part de la indemnització per trancar el seu contracte, i a part que gastem la plaça que ens quedava d'extra-comunitari.
Caldrà veure si això ens redueix molt la qualitat del base que fitxem, que és una peça fonamental.
