TULSA, Okla. –– Keaston Willis, a two-year member of the Tulsa men's basketball program, has signed his first professional contract and is set to begin his playing career overseas in Sweden.
The 6-foot-3 guard has inked a deal with KFUM Jämtland Basket, a club based in Östersund that competes in the top-tier Swedish Basketball League (SBL).
Willis wrapped up a decorated collegiate career with 152 appearances, averaging 13.6 points per game while shooting 37.4 percent from three-point range. He made an impressive 393 career threes, scored in double figures 109 times, and tallied 25 games with 20 or more points.
