Trabzonspor continues to build its roster and bring in players for the new season, with the latest name in the series being Xavier Tillman.
It is true that Marcquise Reed, who wore the Trabzonspor jersey last season and was the MVP of the Turkish Super League, has left the club and joined Bahcesehir, but the impression is that Trabzonspor is doing a very good job this summer and is building a strong team.
The latest addition is Xavier Tillman, who even at NBA level had a solid and respectable career. Before him, Trabzonspor also brought in Shaquille Harrison from Asvel, Yigit Arslan from Besiktas, and Emmanuel Terry from Kawasaki Brave Thunders.

In Tillman’s case, Trabzonspor will be his first European club in his career, as he has so far played exclusively in the NBA, featuring for the Boston Celtics, Memphis Grizzlies, and Charlotte Hornets.
The 27-year-old center does not have a strong season behind him. He played for the Hornets and Celtics, appeared in a total of 30 games, and averaged 1.5 points and 1.4 rebounds.
