Gillespie, Collin Villanova  6'3" 195 PG SR. 

Gillespie was a good college player that was the Big East Player of the Year in 2021-22. He averaged 15.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1 steal per game in 2021-22. He shot 41.5% 3-pt. FG, and 90.5% FT. His assist-to-turnover ratio was 1.92-to-1. Right handed. Gillespie made more three point shots (113) than anyone in the Big East in 2021-22.  …Defensively, Gillespie is challenged. It's not that he doesn't try hard or that he is out of position or anything like that. He will willingly take charges. He just isn't physically imposing. He's 6'3" with a 6'4" wingspan and a 33" max. vert. Villanova was 3.2 points per 100 possessions better defensively with Gillespie off the floor. We do not expect Gillespie to be drafted. We think he could be an NBA backup due to his shooting ability. 

 

Our best advice: in 2017, the 12th pick was Luke Kennard. We advised, "draft John Collins."
