"The league is playing faster than it has in years, with a league-average pace of 100.4 possessions per game, up from 98.8 last season and 98.5 the season before. The increased pace has led to more points, from 113.8 PPG last season to 117.0 PPG this season. This all leads to more opportunities for players to put numbers on the board, including and especially replacement players who are getting more run in place of an absent teammate."

Gillespie has proven to have upper teens scoring with plus rebounds, assists, steals and 3-pointers while playing around 30 MPG off the bench."
