The Flight's Corey Williams will head to Spain before the FBA season begins. Williams, a standout rookie for the Flight last season, received an opportunityto play for CAI Zaragoza (Spain - ACB).
​
Williams was contacted by an FIBA-certified agent early this year after viewing his game film and statistics from his impressive rookie year in the Florida Basketball Association (FBA). The contract is a two week opportunity, which could be extended provided Williams is able to play well and make an immediate impact.
​
Corey was one of our most consistent players last season," said Flight Head Coach Mark King. "He's got a lot of upside, and should be able to turn this opportunity into something bigger for himself."
​
"If I didn't play for the Flight, no one would know who I am and what I can do on the court," said Williams. "Playing in the minors in the US can be tough, but if you get with a good program like the Flight and play in a league like the FBA that actually cares abouit your future success, anything is possible."
​
Williams leaves later this month, but should return before the start of the FBA season in May.
