Back in September, 2019, we wrote “The Quest for Academic, Athletic and Spiritual Greatness.” Tyler Gill is everything you like about a basketball player, student athlete and a young man. This season, Gill enjoyed another banner year on the basketball court. He averaged 18.1 PPG, 6.1 APG, 4.3 RPG and a staggering 4.1 steals per game. We’ve watched Gill in various setting and each time we have come away impressed with his all-around game, especially on the defensive end of the court.
We have often heard college coaches make the comment, “you will play at the level you can defend.” With that in mind, we have been equally impressed with Gill’s defensive grit, determination, and most of all his defensive posture. Gill sits low to the floor with hands wide, has excellent lateral quickness, and active hands. He has the ability to apply intense defensive pressure on the opposing ball handler and has exceptional anticipation by stepping into passing lanes for either deflections or steals.
Whether you watch Tyler Gill on the court or make observations off the hardwood, one thing is crystal clear. Tyler Gill is a very talented basketball player, but even a more exceptional young man. For college coaches, he checks a lot of boxes. He can score, handle the rock, make timely passes, but most of all, he can lead a team with his impeccable leadership skills on and off the court. While some may question his size, you cannot question his heart, grit, determination and unlimited intangibles he brings to the table.
