Christoph Tilly signs Exhibit 10 contract with Oklahoma City Thunder

The Oklahoma City Thunder have signed German center Christoph Tilly to an Exhibit 10 contract. Tilly, a former Ohio State and Santa Clara player, went undrafted following his senior season at Ohio State.

The agreement allows Tilly to participate in the team’s training camp and preseason preparations. While the contract does not guarantee a spot on the regular-season roster, it provides a pathway to a two-way deal or a position with the Oklahoma City Blue, the Thunder’s NBA G League affiliate. If waived before the regular season and spending at least 60 days with the Blue, Tilly could earn a bonus of up to $91,000.

During his final collegiate season at Ohio State, Tilly averaged 11.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 32 games. The Thunder currently have 18 players on their roster, including 14 on guaranteed standard contracts.
