Tillman agreed Saturday with the Spurs on a four-year contract, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
After dealing away some draft capital to move up in the 2021 NBA Draft to select Tillman with the No. 35 overall pick, the Grizzlies opted to use a portion of their mid-level exception to give the Michigan State product more than the two years that are typically allowed for rookie contracts. During training camp, Tillman will likely have to compete with Gorgui Dieng for the fourth spot in a big-man rotation that includes Jonas Valanciunas, Jaren Jackson (knee) and Brandon Clarke.
