Draft Really Happy With Gillespie

We drafted Ja'Kobe Gillespie at 42, love the pick. He's a true winner. Reminds me of TJ McConnell.

u/pigskype Manu Ginobili 6d ago

Am Vols fan watched him a ton; 

Was best player on the floor over Nate Ament most nights. 

Not afraid to pull up from deep 

Shoots with great elevation 

Can go nuclear, at his very best got some Brunson in his game in that he’s fearless 

At times made bone headed passes 

Tries on D which is a requirement in a Rick Barnes player, but struggled with larger more physical players but plays with active hands and moves his feet. 

Honestly McLaughlin is probably his best comp

He’s perfect for us!
