The Thunder plan to sign German big man Christoph Tilly to an Exhibit 10 deal, according to Jon Chepkevich of DraftExpress (Twitter link).

A 7’0″ center from Berlin, Tilly spent three years at Santa Clara prior to transferring to Ohio State for his senior college season. He averaged 11.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 32 games for the Buckeyes in 2025/26 (26.0 minutes per contest).

The Exhibit 10 contract provides Tilly with a chance to be promoted to a two-way deal. He can also receive a bonus worth up to $91K if he’s waived before the start of the season and spends at least 60 days with the Oklahoma City Blue, the Thunder’s NBA G League affiliate.
