In the midst of a breakout NBA campaign, the Villanova product is averaging 10.5 points, 5.1 assists, 4.1 rebounds and a steal per game through 15 games played. Those are all career highs for Gillespie, who’s earned a career high in minutes this season as well under Ott.
His breakout continued Tuesday night, Nov. 18, in a comfortable 127-110 road win against the Portland Trail Blazers.
