26. Killian Tillie, PF/SF, Gonzaga
Similarly to Rui Hachimura, Killian Tillie expected to have a larger role in Gonzaga’s offense. Tillie’s role has actually increased dramatically, he’s gone from getting 12.2 minutes per game to 25.3 minutes per game. The increased playing time is paying dividends as Tillie’s game has improved as a whole.
For example, Tillie’s points production has gone from 4.2 points per game to 12.4 points per game. Additionally, Tillie has shown his immense rebounding potential for a forward as he is averaging 11.4 rebounds per-40 minutes. As the season progresses, I’d like to see Tillie score a little more, but his rebounding has been very impressive.
Still yet to hit a three-pointer, however, Tillie has been dominant when getting to the rim. Moreover, Tillie has his all five of his attempts at the free-throw line throughout the first three games of the season.
The duo of Killian Tillie and Rui Hachimura has the potential to terrorize college defenses.
