Gillespie, like others, is a perfect example how success is not always a straight line. The ones who fight, continue to get better, find a way to stick around/fit in, be a good teammate sometimes find a way. When you get a chance, you take advantage of it. Even if it takes a few years.
Albeit different, I really believe Nembhard has some of these characteristics. It is a tough road though, and not everyone catches a break.
from a post in 2022....1 out of 3 not bad
Alondis Williams. Just a fantastic passer. ACC player of the year this past offseason. Mavs have Moses Wright on a two year contract who was the former ACC player of the year. Williams is probably a middle to late second round pick. And with being a older prospect, he could go undrafted.

Two other potential undrafted guys for me is Cockburn at Illinois. Players with his build and skill set typically do not make it in todays nba. Could he find a niche similar to Gafford?

I also have a soft spot for Collin Gillespie. He doesn’t have the athletic traits to be a high level nba player. But these are the type of guys who just find a way.

If any of these guys go undrafted, they are interesting guys to target.
