Back story: Gillespie was an underappreciated player at Novi High his Freshman and Sophomore seasons, despite averaging near a double double in his first two seasons and breaking the school record for assists in a game (22) and in a season, he was cut from the Varsity squad early on in his junior year. He ended up making the team late in the season due to an injury to one of his teammates, averaged 15 and 10 down the stretch.

Scouting Report
Gillespie is a fiery competitor that won't back down from anybody despite his smaller stature. He has a desire to win and to contribute that is difficult to match. Because of this, he is an outstanding rebounder considering his size and overall physique. He has outstanding court vision, solid ball handling skills, and a knock down jumper. Considering the assist numbers he's averaged, I think it's fair to say he is a great passer and is excellent at finding his teammates for easy buckets. He's in great shape, conditioned very well from his years of track and cross country experience and could play the whole game if need be. However, Gillespie isn't exactly the most athletic player on the court, in fact, many would even suggest that's his weakness. He just seems to be in the right place at the right time and his overall intelligence translates well into basketball IQ. His inside game is also lacking, he struggles at times to finish at the basket despite finding his way there.

*Walks into the gym door. Hears Coach yelling and waits for her to finish*

Brandon: Excuse me, is this where the basketball tryouts are? Today's my first day here and have been lost all day.

Brandon: Excuse me, is this where the basketball tryouts are? Today's my first day here and have been lost all day.

Coach: None of your business, we don't need any more sorry (expletive) players trying out!

[TheNumber35]

Re: Restoring the Fear: A Belltown Tigers Legacy

Brandon: Well I'm sorry you feel that way. Seems like somebody's having a rough week, not exactly smart to take it out on us though. The way I see it, you need steady player support after your previous "incident"...so I wouldn't be burning bridges before tryouts even happen.

*to Eury* Brandon: Man what's up her a**? I swear, I always run into butthurt coaches who have an agenda. It was a problem at my last school and its a problem here too.

Re: Restoring the Fear: A Belltown Tigers Legacy

Eury: Man don't stress it. She keeps this up she'll be out in like a week.

Jerry walks into the gym and walks right by the coach. She attempt to say something but he merely shushes her and grabs the basketball beside her foot.

Who the **** is this kid she wondered as he walked away dribbling in his own little world

Coach: Let's go, 100 suicides NOW!!!!!!!! EVERYONE DOES THEM OR YOU ARE NOT ON THE TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Restoring the Fear: A Belltown Tigers Legacy

*Brandon's inner thoughts are in green from now on*

She thinks I won't do it...I could do it, hell I could handle that easy. But I don't think I should. I'd rather not alienate myself from my future teammates by doing such a ridiculous request. I don't know anybody here, and teammates are always easiest to make friends with. But at the same time, I don't want to not make the team.

*Brandon starts raising the intensity of his shoot-around. After pondering for a second, he responds*

Brandon: Last I'd checked, we hadn't started this thing yet Coach. And if we had, we don't even have enough for a full team here...so wouldn't it be prudent to wait a little longer? Aren't teams best built by getting through common adversity, like conditioning? So I would think a competent coach who wanted to keep their job would want the team to bond so we'll play well as a unit, and would start the conditioning on time. Instead of *looks at the clock on the wall of the gym* a half hour early.
