Derrick Byars signs in Germany

My last Derrick Byars-related post was truly designed to be my last. I even called for a truce in the opening. But no one abided by it, so neither will I. Derrick Byars has taken his two years of decent work in the NBA D-League, added the words “Chicago Bulls” to an already decent resumé... Read more »

Derrick Byars; the new Kasib Powell
