As the Phoenix Suns prepare for the 2026-27 season, Collin Gillespie has become a player to watch, reminiscent of the excitement Steve Nash once brought to the league. Undrafted out of Villanova, Gillespie’s breakthrough came after overcoming injuries, with impressive stats including 232 three-pointers last season. Nicknamed “Villain Jr.” for his tough defense and role as a connector on the court, he recently signed a team-friendly four-year, $48 million contract. While not on the MVP track like Nash, Gillespie represents a promising future for the Suns.
