Tim Tillman still brings rim protection and old-school interior grit for the Privateers
In the 2006–07 season, Tim Tillman gave New Orleans a reliable interior presence, appearing in all 31 games, starting six, and finishing ninth in the Sun Belt with 0.87 blocks per game; he also posted a career-high six blocks in one game and grabbed a season-best 11 rebounds, which tells you the fit was about defense, toughness, and energy more than flash.[3][4] He was the kind of center coaches like because he battled through an injury-plagued college path and still delivered efficient, high-motor minutes, making him a smart fit for teams that value rim protection and physicality.[3][4]
