Tulsa, Okla., December 18, 2009 – The Tulsa 66ers announced today that the team has acquired forward Deron (Der-ON) Washington from the Los Angeles D-Fenders in exchange for forward Keith Clark.
Washington (6-7, 215) was drafted third overall by the D-Fenders in the 2009 NBA Development League Draft. Through eight games in the 2009-10 season, Washington has averaged 9.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per contest

The 66ers roster now includes Bryon Mullens, assignee, Latavious Williams, fresh out of high school uber-prospect, Steven Hill, monster on the boards, Mustafa Shakur, dagger-man, and Larry Owens. Granted, they’ve underperformed, but with the addition of Williams, who was brilliant, and I mean brilliant at summer league with the Pistons a few years ago, and has great ability to get to the rim, they’ve not got depth, talent, and speed. They have to start getting wins, now, right?
Oh, wait, they’ve got two back to backs with RGV and Reno. Nevermind. Man the West is tough. How tough? You’ve got 9 teams in the West, seven in the east. Three teams in the East are above .500, six in the West. Yikes.
