Local guard with upside, but still finding his college footing
In the 2025-26 season, Northwestern freshman guard Phoenix Gill appeared in 11 games and averaged 0.5 points, 0.5 rebounds, and 0.3 assists in 3.5 minutes per game, so the raw production is still tiny. What makes him interesting is the profile: a 6-foot-2 Chicago native, former three-star recruit, and son of Kendall Gill, who chose Northwestern and showed enough promise to return for 2026-27. He looks like a developmental fit rather than an instant-impact piece, with local roots, guard size, and some playmaking feel, but he’ll need a real jump in consistency and shot-making to earn meaningful minutes.
