Gillon's playing great, as you portended. He's crafty inside, quick on D, he can shoot it and he finds people. So I have no real complaints, except I'd like to see him get Chukwu the ball higher and in better position (although that pass that hit PC was probably meant for TB). One nit is that, overall, our guards don't use the bounce pass much, even in the P/R. And if you watch the NBA as many of us do, the bounce pass is often a thing of beauty.

Aside from the P/R and penetration (which Gillon and Howard have been doing well), feeding the post from either wing is a WIP right now. We've seen all kinds of D (zone, m2m, matchup zone, and HC used a 1/3/1), but regardless, I've noticed that opposing defenses are using guards for inside help on both Chukwu and DC2. That opens things up for shooters (hence our lofty 3 point percentage), but it does make inside passes difficult. To counter this, I like JB's tactic of putting TT/TL at the foul line .. both are tall enough (and have good enough vision) to use that spot to get the ball down low.
