Undrafted Gonzaga big man Killian Tillie is signing a two-way deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, his agent told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Frenchman acted as the Bulldogs' Swiss Army knife during his time in Spokane. His excellent 3-point shooting, defensive versatility, and capable playmaking skills allowed Gonzaga head coach Mark Few to deploy him in a variety of ways.
Tillie averaged 13.6 points, five boards, 1.9 assists, and one steal en route to earning All-WCC first-team honors this past season. There's no question he's a first-round talent, but injuries during his junior and senior season hurt his draft stock.
