Killian Tillie named candidate for 2019 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award

Gonzaga Bulldogs junior big man Killian Tillie was named one of 21 candidates for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award. This recognition goes out to the best center in college basketball.

Tillie is the next heir in a long line of stellar Gonzaga frontcourt players. He flirted with the idea of entering the NBA Draft last season, but a late injury (which also kept him out of the Zags Sweet 16 loss to Florida State) pretty much scuttled those ideas.

He returns to Gonzaga after averaging 12.9 points and 5.9 rebounds per game.
