The San Antonio Spurs revealed their 2017 training camp roster on Monday, with 19 players going into exhibition play. One surprising name on the team is center Amida Brimah, an undrafted free agent from the University of Connecticut. The six-foot-ten big man is the only pure center on the roster as Pau Gasol and Matt Costello are listed as forwards/centers.
Born in Accra, Ghana, Brimah played high school basketball at Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll in Miami, Florida. After catching the eye of coach Kevin Ollie, he played college ball at the University of Connecticut and was a member of their 2013-14 National Championship team.
