Ural Great Perm announced signing of American guard Darius Washington (188-G-85, college: Memphis) for the rest of the season. 23-year old player is coming to Russian team just in time for the EuroCup second qualification round and the games against FMP Zeleznik.

Washington arrives to Ural Great from Greek Aris Thessaloniki. He started last season in San Antonio Spurs but after 18 games he moved to D-league team Austing Toros. For those 18 NBA games Washington had 2.9 ppg and 1.1 rpg. His final destination last season was Aris, where he landed in January this year. He appeared in 9 Euroleague games averaging 10.2 ppg, 2.8 rpg and 3.1 apg. Washington also played 14 games in Greek A1 regular season adding 9.1 ppg, 2.7 rpg and 2.3 apg.

His digits in 3 play-off games were even better but Aris couldn't book a spot for Euroelague 08/09. In 2007 Darius Washington won two trophies with CEZ Basketball Nymburk (domestic league and National Cup). He helped his team with 12.8 ppg, 3.2 rpg and 3.1 apg for 26 games in just few months as he joined Nymburk in March 2007. Until that time he played for PAOK.

Washington came out from University of Memphis in 2006. In January this year he received Macedonian citizenship (FYROM).

Goog luck DWash!

keep pushin

Should have stayed at Memphis and graduated there with national championship and top draft pick.Can't cry over spilled milk.Bad decision turning pro when he did

D-Washington was a guy who got caught in the height, he has the wurst luck in the world because he enter draft and didn't get grafted and the next year Memphis tiger won thirty something games who ever given this kid advice should stop(daddy)stop trying to live through your son

With the projected arrival of Derrick Rose, DWash's minutes would have been cut dramatically and he would no longer be the team's floor leader. Even though he wasn't drafted, Dwash's leaving the Tigers at that time was probably a smart move because his stock would have gone down being in Rose's shadow. And, after all, he still made the NBA.

God bless you bruh. Keep doin yo thang and killing anybody who cross yoour path!!!!!11
