Killian Tillie: Super Glue Guy

David Pendergraft’s albatross was his height. At 6’ 6” and 220 pounds he had to use positioning, hustle and smarts to guard an opponent’s 4 or sometimes even their 5. Mike Hart was so hesitant to shoot, he looked like a sniper needing clearance from higher headquarters before firing. Draino was good in all aspects of the game, just not great in any single area. They were our blue collar/Swiss Army Knife/glue guys from the past. The guys who made up for a lack of height or foot speed by outhustling, outthinking or outplaying their opponent. They could do a little bit of everything and usually did, accomplishing whatever it took to win.
