Auburn basketball signs ‘proven winner’ Desi Sills

Auburn has officially signed Arkansas transfer guard Desi Sills.

Desi Sills is trading in Arkansas red for Auburn orange and blue.

The former Razorbacks guard officially signed with the Tigers on Wednesday and is expected to be a huge producer for Bruce Pearl’s team this upcoming season.

Desi is a proven winner,” Pearl said. “He’s a fierce competitor and a tough, physical defender. He’s got the ability to create for himself as well as others. Playing in our up-tempo system should bring out the best of him. If he plays as well against others as he did against us, we hit the jackpot.”

The guard averaged 7.5 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists for Arkansas last year, playing 20.8 minutes per game as the Razorbacks reached the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament.
