Pistons' Matt Costello: Highly efficient in win
Costello posted 20 points (6-7 FG, 8-9 FT), eight rebounds and two blocks across 21 minutes during the Pistons' 102-84 win over the Pacers in a Las Vegas Summer League game Monday.
Costello is looking to eventually carve out a reserve frontcourt role behind Andre Drummond and Thon Maker, and Monday's showing was certainly a good start in that regard. The former Michigan State Spartan averaged 10.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists over five games with Italian team Sidigas Avellino last season, and it appears the brief experience may have helped further his skills ahead of his current summer league tenure.

Matt Costello: Lands deal in Italy
Costello signed a contract Thursday with S.S. Felice Scandone of the Italian League, Emiliano Carchia of Sportando.com reports.
Costello will head to Europe after attracting limited interest in free agency from NBA clubs when his two-way contract with the Spurs expired at the beginning of July. During his inaugural season in the NBA, Costello appeared in just four games and played eight total minutes. The big man out of Michigan State ended up seeing most of his time in the G League with the Spurs' affiliate in Austin.

Spurs' Matt Costello: Earns two-way deal with Spurs
Costello has agreed to sign a two-way deal with the Spurs, ESPN's Zach Lowe reports.
Costello was a standout during the NBA Las Vegas Summer League earlier this month, pulling down an event-best 12.3 rebounds per game as a member of the Timberwolves' squad. The undrafted 2016 prospect won't be in line for immediate playing time in San Antonio, but the two-way contract allows for Costello to develop in the G-League.

Matt Costello: Waived by Grizzlies
Costello was waived by the Grizzlies on Monday, Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com reports.
Costello made a valiant effort in his attempt to make the roster and was one of the last cuts to get the Grizzlies' roster down to the 15-man maximum, but was unable to lock up one of those final spots. Costello saw limited action throughout the preseason, but the Grizzlies liked what they saw and he could be an option to join their D-League affiliate, the Iowa Energy.

Grizzlies' Matt Costello: Signs contract with Grizzlies
Costello signed a contract Thursday with the Grizzlies.
Costello went undrafted in June after a four-year college career at Michigan State, but was able to land a partially-guaranteed contract from the Hawks that included an invite to training camp. He was waived by the Hawks earlier this week, but the Grizzlies want to get a quick look at him prior to the regular season. Costello is not a candidate to make the 15-man roster and is likely just getting an audition for the Iowa Energy, the Grizzlies' D-League affiliate.
