"The Villanova product who was part of a national championship team in 2018 went undrafted in 2022, and he made little impact for the 2023-24 Denver Nuggets. He started nine games late last season for the Suns, showing promise as a 3-point shooter, distributor and, perhaps most surprisingly, in racking up steals for a team playing its way out of a playoff spot."
"Gillespie scored a career-best 28 points in Monday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers, draining eight 3-pointers, dishing five assists, adding two steals. He has scored double digits in each of the past 10 games, averaging 30.6 MPG, 18 PPG, 4.6 APG and 1.5 SPG. Perhaps the Suns played Gillespie only because injuries dictated it, but now they see this is a legitimate player who shoots well from everywhere (50% on 3-pointers in 10 games) and plays capable defense."
Collin Gillespie, a Villanova product and member of the 2018 national championship team, went undrafted in 2022 and had limited impact in Denver. He started nine games late last season for the Suns, showing 3-point shooting, playmaking and defensive (steal) ability. Gillespie scored a career-best 28 points with eight 3-pointers against the Lakers and has scored double digits in each of the past 10 games, averaging 30.6 minutes, 18 points, 4.6 assists and 1.5 steals. He is shooting 50% from three in 10 games, remains available in over 60% of standard fantasy leagues, and has not been widely added.
