The 23-year-old Swedish NBA free agent lit up the Motor City Cruise during the 2025-26 season. One standout performance: 26 points, 9 rebounds, 4 offensive rebounds, and 4 steals against College Park Skyhawks. That kind of display gets European scouts watching.<\/p>\n<p>His numbers tell the story. Over 2025-26, Klintman averaged 13.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.4 blocks in 26 minutes per game, while shooting 47% from the field and 39% from three. Back-to-back games of 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists cemented the turnaround. This consistency stands in stark contrast to his NBA stint.<\/p>\n<p>The NBA chapter was brief and quiet. Klintman spent two seasons with the Detroit Pistons after being drafted 37th overall in 2024. In 20 games, he managed just 1.9 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 0.7 assists in fewer than six minutes per game. Limited playing time and a crowded roster left little room for development.<\/p>\n<p>Now Europe is calling. Virtus Bologna has shown significant interest in Klintman, potentially offering a path back to meaningful basketball. Physically, he has the tools: 206 cm tall with a 213 cm wingspan\u2014dimensions that translate well to EuroLeague competition.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t his first international stop. Klintman started his career with the Cairns Taipans in Australia&#8217;s NBL, averaging 10.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.5 blocks in under 22 minutes per game during 2023-24. From Australia to the NBA to the G League and now toward Europe\u2014it&#8217;s a journey that shows a player hunting for consistent minutes and a chance to compete at the highest level that will have him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swedish NBA free agent Bobi Klintman caught European scouts&#8217; attention with a strong G League season for Motor City Cruise.
