Former Hokie men’s basketball star Deron Washington took the time to catch up with the CT last week.
After a successful career at Tech, the highlight-making Washington was drafted by the Detroit Pistons with the 59th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. Shortly thereafter, he made the decision to play a year overseas and signed on with Israel’s Hapoel Holon.
Following his season with Hapoel Holon, Washington competed for a Pistons roster spot while playing for the team in the 2009 Summer League. On Aug. 10 he signed a two-year contract to play for the Pistons.
Unexpectedly, on Oct. 26, the Pistons informed Washington he would no longer be with the team, and he was waived.
