According to a report from Spokesman Review, both the Golden State Warriors and the Philadelphia 76ers are very interested in interior player Killian Tillie, who once played for the Memphis Grizzlies, and they are both considering the possibility of signing Tilly.
Tilley was born in March 1998, is 26 years old, 206cm tall and weighs 100kg, and was the undrafted pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. The France interior player played for the Grizzlies in both 2020-21 and 2021-22, where he played a total of 64 NBA games, averaging 11.9 minutes per game, averaging 3.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.4 blocks, 0.3 turnovers and 1.4 fouls while shooting 33.7% from the field, 31.1% from three-point range and 73.7% from the free throw line. Tilley's performance in the NBA is obviously not particularly outstanding, his offensive efficiency is very average, and his performance on the defensive end is not very outstanding. Probably because his performances have not been entirely satisfactory, he has not been able to get a contract from an NBA team for the last two seasons.
Tilly hadn't even appeared in the NBA or the NBA Development League for the previous two seasons, which made everyone a little worried about his situation and form. In fact, the last time he was on the Circle was in March 2022, nearly two and a half years after that. For two and a half years, Tilly also underwent back surgery, which also led to a lengthy recovery from injury. But in fact, his comeback time is more than a year later than everyone thinks, and we really don't have more information to dig out about his situation for more than a year.
Happily, Tilley also played for the Boston Celtics in the NBA Summer League, where he played a total of 5 games for the team, averaging 17.2 minutes per game, averaging 8.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.4 steals and 1 block per game, as well as 0.8 turnovers and 3.6 fouls, shooting 48.5% from the field, 41.2% from three-point range, and 75% from the free throw line. Tilley's summer league performance has been quite impressive, he has a solid three-point efficiency on the offensive end, he has shown some ability to protect the basket on the defensive end, and it seems that he is a spatial interior player who can play both offense and defense, and his maturity level seems to be quite high. Tilly's comeback is still very strong, which also makes a big impression on everyone. Considering that Tilly was also an inside powerhouse at the NCAA Gonzaga University, and his recovery is relatively good, in this case, maybe there will really be a team to offer him a contract?
