Overview

• Tillman reported that the March injection worked better than his previous surgery, noting minimal knee trouble throughout the summer.
• He shed 12 pounds through a strict diet, added regular stretching to his routine, and hired a personal chef to sustain the changes.
• He devoted extensive time to 3-point shooting to raise a career rate of 25.2% in a system that prioritizes floor spacing.
• Lingering knee pain and poor shooting pushed him out of the rotation last season as he logged 33 games with 7.0 minutes, 1.0 points and 1.3 rebounds per game.
• Playing time remains unsettled with Brad Stevens declining to name a center front-runner and competition from Neemias Queta, Luka Garza and Chris Boucher.
