Matt Costello Michigan state
after winning Mr. Basketball at Bay City Western in 2012 and helping Michigan State University reach the Final Four in 2015, basketball is now Costello’s job. And his work has taken him across the country and around the globe. He’ll compete alongside NBA players, NBA newcomers and NBA hopefuls in the league’s showcase event July 5-15.
Fellow MSU product Matt McQuaid is also with the Pistons for the Summer League. Detroit faces Team Croatia at 3 p.m. Friday on NBA TV and the Portland Trail Blazers at 3:30 p.m. Saturday on ESPNU to open its schedule. This marks Costello’s third season of Summer League action. The 6-foot-9, 245-pound power forward led the league with 12.3 rebounds per game in 2017 while playing with the Minnesota Timberwolves. That propelled him to a two-way contract with the San Antonio Spurs for the 2017-18 season when he not only helped the Austin Spurs to the NBA G-League championship but also saw action in four NBA games.

Former Mr. Basketball he feels NBA-ready after the first taste former Bay City Western and Michigan State University standout is poised for big things next season Costello Courtesy. A native of Linwood, Michigan — known for its Pickle Festival and perch fishing far more than its basketball — the son of Jennifer and Mike Costello went to work on becoming a hoops hero. He accomplished that by bringing the Mr. Basketball Award to Bay City Western, a long-suffering basketball program that enjoyed little success before his arrival or since his departure.
He led Western to a stunning run to the Class A state semifinals as a junior and was named Gatorade Player of the Year in 2011 and 2012. He graduated with program records of 1,518 points, 1,069 rebounds, and 280 blocked shots. Costello needed to prove himself all over again at Michigan State, where his outside game was stripped away and he was relegated to banging under the boards. He eventually thrived in that role, serving as a key figure in MSU’s run to the Final Four as a junior and earning second-team All-Big Ten as a senior. He scored 888 points with 642 rebounds in his collegiate career and set the program record with 146 blocked shots.

Matt Costello Contract
He has since signed contracts with the Atlanta Hawks and Memphis Grizzlies played two seasons in the NBA. He scored four points and grabbed nine rebounds for the Spurs in limited action in 2017-18.
When an NBA deal didn’t materialize last season, he and wife Anna said ‘Ciao’ to a new opportunity in Italy. Costello signed with Sidigas Avellino of Lega Basket Serie A, the top-tier league of Italian basketball.
That’s an experience a lot of people never get to have, so we tried to make the most of it.”The interdisciplinary studies graduate got a crash course on the Italian language and culture. Now standing 2.08 meters tall, Costello became known as Avellino’s “malto alto Americano.”
An ankle injury and the ensuing surgery limited him to just 10 games of action with Avellino, as he averaged 10.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per outing. During his rehab, he returned to MSU and helped out with the basketball team as it made another Final Four run. He said he spent the past month attending a series of free-agent camps and preparing for the Summer League, where he hopes to make his mark and earn another shot at an NBA future.“I have another exciting opportunity in front of me,” he said. “I get the chance to play for an NBA team. Now I’ve just got to play well and hope somebody notices something.”
