The American forward is set to strengthen Partizan Belgrade’s frontcourt for next season.

Partizan Belgrade is continuing to reshape its roster ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. According to BasketNews sources, the Serbian club is finalizing an agreement with Derek Willis, who spent last season with Paris Basketball. The 30-year-old forward averaged 5.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in EuroLeague play while seeing 16 minutes per game.

Willis also impressed with his efficiency, shooting 55% from two-point range and 37% from beyond the arc. His versatility and floor-spacing ability make him an intriguing addition as Partizan looks to remain competitive at the highest European level.
