Bayern Munich’s basketball players have signed US center Freddie Gillespie. As the Munich Bundesliga club announced on Monday, Gillespie signed a two-year contract. The 25-year-old played last season first in the NBA for the Orlando Magic and later in the North American development league G League for Memphis Hustle. Gillespie made a total of 29 appearances in the NBA, 20 of them in his 2020-2021 debut season with the Toronto Raptors.
What I will bring is first and foremost my mentality of wanting to get the best out of every situation; plus rebounding, defense, defending the ring, setting screens, going to offensive rebound and my physique, explains the 6-foot-1 Gillespie.
Freddie is a young, very promising player who, with his physical ability in the zone and in defense of the ring, will give us a tremendous presence, said Munich sporting director Daniele Baiesi.
