Big-bodied Billikens center known for shot-blocking and efficient finishing
Gillmann’s value at Saint Louis has come from being a physical 6'10" rim protector who finished the 2016-17 season with 11 blocks in 25 games while shooting 65% from the field, even though his overall role was limited. He was also praised as an academic-minded player, having stepped away from basketball to focus on finishing his degree after his SLU run, which suggests maturity and perspective that teams often value in a depth big. For a team, he fits best as a low-usage, defense-first interior presence rather than a featured scorer.[5][2]
