Metros de Santiago (LNB) landed experienced 36-year old American international guard Damien Wilkins (198-102kg-80, college: Georgia). He played most recently at Guaros in Venezuelan LPB league. In 39 games he averaged impressive 17.7ppg, 4.1rpg and 2.1apg last season. Wilkins helped them to win the regular season and make it to the semifinals. It was a very successful season in his career as he was selected to Latinbasket.com Venezuelan LPB All-Imports Team and 2nd Team. Two years ago (ten years after he left the college) Wilkins was drafted by Iowa Energy (D-League) in first round (16th overall). The former University of Georgia standoutis in his 13th (hopefully lucky) season in pro basketball. Wilkins won Liga Americas championship title. He also represented USA at the Panamerican Games in Toronto (Canada) last year. Wilkins' team won Bronze and his stats at that event were 5 games: 13.2ppg, 5.0rpg, 1.0apg, FGP: 52.6%, 3PT-1 (75.0%), FT: 70.8%. And here thanks to pro basketball Wilkins experienced life on three different continents. He is familiar with Asian, Latin American and of course North American leagues. Wilkins has played previously professionally in China (Beijing Ducks), Puerto Rico (Indios) and NBA (Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, Philadelphia 76ers, Minnesota Timberwolves and Charlotte Hornets). He is close to retirement age as a player. It may be one of last seasons in his extensive career, which he may end at Metros de Santiago. Let's have closer look into Wilkins' outlook:
Super potential with great hops: big body, strong driving player, is learning to shoot and defend; however, he hasn' t yet the ball skills and the shooting range of a great 3 man, neither the athleticism to defend big-time talents of NBA.
