The Collin Gillespie Bandwagon Thread

[Absolute Zero]

Who cares about that haircut, this guy brings some juice, and some hope! A bright spot in a season that has been a bit dark so far this year. Here's hoping he sticks around and continues to develop.

I've been impressed with him every time he gets minutes. He's a dawg. He's the kind of player this team needs. The opposite of "unbothered".

bud starts players when they're hot - next game should tell us a lot - like i said even if his shots not falling - if he can bring that intensity... an actual spark that can help turn us from a soaked wick to a john wick? everybody went john wick in the 4th quarter - bud didn't even look at the bench - gillespie and kd (not sorry lol) caused all of it

tempo changers bring turnovers - turnovers create fast breaks - hustle creates chaos - all of this leads to the energy we've been so sorely lacking - im really hoping gillespie is that guy - hoping that game did wonders for his confidence

Second coming of Steve Nash confirmed.

Joking aside, I really want to see more of this kid.

There were a couple plays where he looked eerily like Nash. That layup he made HIGH over Zubac was one of them.

 

[BirdGangThing]

i have him as more of a ginobili due to the defense

 

[leclerc]

The haircut is just fine by the way. This kid is all about the business. Wait until after he's signed his first big contract. Then I expect to see the fashionable rock n roll style.

He’s quarter each of Steve Nash, John Stockton, Mark Price and Bob Cousy.

Maybe it's a reference to his clean cut look. I like the look.

No, don't do that to Collin.

I'd like to see Gillespie and Washington both on the Suns roster next season in some manner.

I'm still high on Gillespie, but the stock of Ty Ty Washington is rising as well. If only he had a 3-point shot.

TyTy is interesting because I'm pretty sure he's made it to the point where he won't qualify for Two-Way deals. He's someone who should be an end of bench guy over Damien Lee though so I'd be fine keeping him cheap.

Without that shot his value is close to nil in todays game at the nba level.

Ty Ty at age 23 is hitting the 3-point shot in the G-League (.426) so I'd hate to part with him and he has speed to burn.

Gillespie and Washington were both good additions to the Suns. IMO, the Suns really need to hang onto them and see if one of them takes the next step. On a vet minimum salary, they both should be easily traded. Quality point guard depth is hard to find, plus there is the upside if they do develop.
