Xavier Tillman Is a Defensive Chess Piece : Film Session

Imagine bringing the ball down the floor and you see Holiday, White, Brown, Tillman and Horford. Like what is your game plan against that 😂😂

it basically gives the Celts a small-ball Twin Towers option. They can put Horford and Tillman up against small ball lineups, switch one through five and still pound teams on the boards. All that while resting Porzingis. Amazing that Brad basically swapped out a non-rotation player and got Tillman.

Even better, he's starting to get more trust and hitting his corner 3's.

Tillman has excellent foot movement and strong. He is our new Giannis stopper and will embarrass him in playoffs. Mark my words for that. He's a reliable defensive backup to Horford in playoffs.

Tillman is doing very good also when he's out there with Horford it's hard to tell who's who

yeah he really can switch from 1 to 5 a perfect fit for C's defense.

He is the bigger version of Grant. Small big but uses strength to slow down Bigs. If he adjusts more to that role like how Grant slowed Jokic and he improves his 3s as well, we might see him as a starter next szn

IF you are new welcome and if you’re not plz take your shoes off before you come in the house

I love the detailed breakdown on the X-man. It's so much easier to get a real sense of his tenacity when you isolate a bunch of his plays. Thanks Nik.

Till is right at home here in Boston. You can tell he's happy here and he'll take on anybody from a guard to a big. Really high on him. He's exactly what the C's needed. Great breakdown.

GREAT WORK Nik! These are really good.

So glad I came across your channel bro. Some of the best C’s content and analysis I’ve seen online. Xavier Tillman I feel is Brad’s replacement for Grant Williams defensively—he’s not going to score more than 10 in a game but he’s that same stocky smaller build to guard the taller and more skilled players around the league like G Will (and even Smart) did so many times. Can’t wait to see how he continues to contribute as he gets more and more minutes, understanding of Mazulla ball, and chemistry with the team come playoff time.

Need him to lock doncic up for this final pleaseeee🙏🏽

Love the videos ! Keep it up fam!

Crazy how Tillmans defense only gets talked about when he leaves Memphis

Tillman is a gladiator.

Yo! You went crazy breaking down the film in this vid, great work!🔥

Tillman gotten for Nuggets in Finals - Pritchard and Hauser would have been torched on defense by the Nuggets if that Finals matchup comes to fruition.

I increasingly think they got Tillman bc of the Nuggets - I just cant believe how cheap they got him.

having Tillman and Horford for 4&5 were such a 🧱
