Killian Tillie presents the precise skill-set to match a growing area of need throughout the NBA, the stretch-big. Standing 6-foot-10 with tremendous shooting ability, he offers the flexibility to space the floor at the 4 and the size to play a small-ball 5.
Losing significant time over the last two years to injury is certainly an area of concern. But the timing has worked in his favor, as this is the ideal time for a prospect with his size and skill-set to enter the league. On top of that, Tillie spent four years growing under a coach in Mark Few who won a boatload of games and churned out a number of NBA players over the years.
If a franchise asks him solely to stretch the floor as a backup big, and he stays healthy, Killian Tillie could instigate a lengthy NBA career.
