Summary:

Mason Gillis is a fairly athletic swingman that played at Purdue before transferring to play at Duke for the upcoming 2024-25 college basketball season. He’s a sharpshooter that can knock down shots, especially from the outside. He’ll need to be more assertive on offense and will need to improve his defense, but his jump shot could enable him to project well into a shooting specialist role in the NBA.
