Yep. I think I posted on this very board after that game that, while I loved his story, he wasn't a D1 player.Alf said:Stefano DiMera said:

Yep, I remember the first game that I saw him play against Kansas after Tristan got hurt. He looked completely lost on the court.
He had just finished his 2nd 10 day contract. The Raptors had to sign him at least through the end of the season or let him go.Hotsauce said:
Not easy to earn a full contract while on a 10-day! Good job, Freddie!
His salary is guaranteed through the end of the season, giving him $239,959 (including the two 10 day contracts).OsoVerde said:
Any numbers reported on the deal?

Freddie Gillespie had the best game of his young career in this building a couple nights ago and he's picking up where he left off. He's doing a lot of things well - crashing the glass hard, screening, finishing, protecting the rim. Impressive first stint.

Shows you my talent evaluation chops. Let it never, ever, ever be said again that Scott Drew and staff aren't elite developers of talent.
