Derrick Williams owns a player option with the New York Knicks worth $4.6 million that he's likely to decline.

"I wanted to take a chance on myself and I think I really pulled through on that one," he said.

Williams signed a two-year, $10 million deal last offseason.

Williams averaged 9.3 points and 3.7 rebounds in 17.9 minutes per game and a PER of 17.3, which was easily the best mark of his career.
