Benjamin Gillery (born September 19, 1965, in Detroit, Michigan) is an American former professional basketball player. A 7'0" center from Hutchinson Community College and Georgetown University, Gillery was mainly a "project" player for the Hoyas, starting games but benched during the first stoppage of time. Although Gillery was never drafted by an NBA team, he played for the Sacramento Kings during the 1988-89 NBA season, averaging 1.0 points in 25 games. Gillery later played in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) for the San Jose Jammers, Rapid City Thrillers and Cedar Rapids Silver Bullets. He now coaches young boys in basketball.
