I do wonder if the kid gets beaten up had he missed the shot.

But I also liked him screening up top and getting into the roll around the high post -- will we see more of that, or is it probably not really worth running stuff through him at the elbows?

I can see him play some in the Playoffs.

I can't see a playoff game where he gets a DNP. Defense alone will be needed. Just make enough shots to keep teams honest on defense.

His defense is elite, but we aren’t doing him any favors playing him in a double big lineup with Kornet

All of this may be true, but do you really think we will play Single big lineups? it doesn't seem like joe would want that.. And to be honest i'm not sure myself..

Tillman is too small to be the lone big.

Seems like he could be useful against Bam. Not needed, but could be useful, more than sending say, Grant Williams out there to the slaughter.

I actually think he would be our best Bam matchup. Straight up and because he can switch on PnRs if he has to switch onto a guard. Might be the only Big we have NOT needing to go into the Drop Coverage.
