25. KILLIAN TILLIE, Big, Gonzaga

Health is the key for Killian Tillie, who missed large portions of both his junior and senior years. He currently profiles as a second-round pick because of those health concerns, but at his peak, Tillie has more than enough talent to warrant first-round consideration.

Tillie is a flamethrower at 6-foot-10 — arguably one of the better pure shooters in the 2020 class. He’s also incredibly smart, both as a passer and as a scorer. He knows his spots, he shares the ball, and he can fit flexibly into a wide number of schemes and lineup combinations. He’s the perfect modern big.

He’s not a bad defender, and his mobility is a big plus as a prospective center, but Tillie could stand to add some weight to his frame — an obvious problem for someone with a lingering injury history. If he can stay on the court, expect Tillie to make it in the NBA. He’d probably get closer to a lottery grade if he came with a cleaner slate.
