Darius Myron Washington Jr. (born December 6, 1985, in Winter Park, Florida) is an American and naturalized Macedonian professional basketball player who plays for Lottomatica Roma.
He is a point guard-shooting guard and played college basketball with the University of Memphis. He has also played with the NBA's San Antonio Spurs and the NBA D-League's Austin Toros in 2007.
Professional career
On April 25, 2006, Washington declared himself as an early entry candidate for the 2006 NBA Draft. Confident he would be drafted, he signed with a sports agent on June 26, two days before the draft, losing his eligibility to play in college. With analysts being skeptical on his reliability to play point guard, he was not drafted. Although analyst Dick Vitale and others believed Washington had a shot to make an NBA roster as a free agent,[2] he failed to do so after trying out with several teams during training camp.
[edit] Europe
He was later drafted by the Austin Toros of the D-League, but he instead chose to sign with PAOK Thessaloniki of the Greek League. In 2007, he led the ČEZ Nymburk team to the Czech Republic League title after leaving PAOK. He played in the ULEB Cup competition during the year with both clubs.
In January 2008, Washington signed a 2 year contract with the Euroleague club Aris Thessaloniki, a team that competes in the Greek League. He was released by Aris after one season. At the end of October 2008, he signed a contract with the Russian Super League club Ural Great Perm.
In July 2009, he signed a contract with Galatasaray Cafe Crown which is one of the most well-known basketball teams in the Turkish League.[3]
In April 2010, he signed with Lottomatica Roma until the end of the season.
[edit] NBA
Washington signed with the San Antonio Spurs on August 23, 2007, and was assigned to the D-League in late November. He played for the Austin Toros in the NBA D-League. He was called up in early December to take Tony Parker's spot on the roster while he healed from an injury; however, Washington was waived by the Spurs on December 28.[4][5] In 18 games for the Spurs, he averaged 2.9 points (on 0.438 FG, 0.333 3PT and 0.539 FT shooting) and 1.1 rebounds in a little over 8 minutes per game.
He played with the Chicago Bulls during the 2008–2009 NBA pre-season, but was waived by the team before the start of the regular season.
[edit] Macedonian national team
Washington was granted Macedonian citizenship, where he is known as Darius Vašington (Дариус Вашингтон in Cyrillic), and he joined the Macedonian national basketball team.[6]
