Will "The Thrill" Bynum is an American professional basketball player currently playing for the Detroit Pistons in the NBA. He plays the point guard position. He recently signed a two year contract with the Detroit Pistons after catching the eye of Pistons Head Coach Michael Curry.
Bynum is considered a legend in the Chicago area, having outplayed many of the city's best players, including Antoine Walker, Tony Allen, Luther Head, Dee Brown and Sean Dockery. After starring at Crane High School in Chicago, he played for the University of Arizona in the NCAA, where he never started and left the team after a disagreement with head coach Lute Olson, subsequently joining Georgia Tech. He helped the Yellow Jackets reach the Final Four, where they lost to the Connecticut Huskies. Bynum previously hit the last second shot against Oklahoma State to propel the side to the championship game.
After signing a contract with the NBA's Boston Celtics in the off-season of 2005, he participated in NBA preseason play and was subsequently waived before the start of the 2005-06 regular season. He would appear for the Golden State Warriors during that season, playing 15 games from 19 March-19 April 2006. Prior to that, he played for the Roanoke Dazzle of the NBA Development League, winning the 2005-06 NBA Development League Rookie of the Year award.[1]
Bynum signed with Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel before the 2006-07 season. He played for Maccabi for two years.
