AUGUST 30: The Sixers have made it official, announcing in a press release that Riller has signed a two-way deal with the team.
AUGUST 18: After opening a two-way slot by waiving Rayjon Tucker, the Sixers have reached an agreement on a two-way deal with Grant Riller, tweets Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Riller, 24, was a two-way player for the Hornets last season. He got into just seven games and averaged 2.6 PPG in 3.9 minutes per night. He played 11 games during the abbreviated G League season, posting 13.1 points, 1.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists for the Greensboro Swarm.
Charlotte took Riller with the 56th pick in the 2020 draft, but didn’t make a qualifying offer before this year’s deadline, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Philadelphia’s other two-way contract is held by rookie wing Aaron Henry.
Good job Charlotte…
Hmmmmmm I thought he was a good add for the Hornets. I guess they felt otherwise
A lot of Philly fans wanted to draft him last year, and some even wanted him over Maxey. I do like him and think he has a good shot to carve out a niche/role on this team if he can reach his ceiling. Decent flyer
CHA took Ish Smith over Riller. Smith does have remarkable stats for a small 33yo PG, isn’t declining yet.
That CHA team needed upside. This one needed a vet. Not much happening here. Best of luck to each of em.
