NBA Lottery Selections Walker & Williams Sign Shoe Deals

During the 2011 NCAA Tournament Kemba Walker and Derrick Williams were opponents. Walker and the UConn Huskies defeated Williams and the University of Arizona Wildcats, in the Elite Eight, which allowed the Huskies to advance to the Final Four. Now the Pac Ten Player Of The Year Williams and the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four, will be teammates. No, not NBA teammates as Williams was drafted by Minnesota and Walker by Charlotte. The two rookies will become UnderAmor teammates. Both lottery selections signed endorsement deals, with the company led by Milwaukee Buck Brandon Jennings. That's probably the best news the pair of rookies have recieved professionally, since the NBA Draft, their has been a league lockout, with no end in sight. Gone now are the rookie summer leagues and they contact between players and their respective NBA teams.
