Gillespie is a fundamental player who showcases exceptional patience on the court. He expertly picks apart defenses, utilizing screens to create space and consistently finding the open man in pick-and-roll situations. Defensively, Elijah excels at staying in front of his opponents, using his quick feet and sharp instincts to contain offensive threats. His combination of intelligent playmaking and strong defensive skills makes him a key asset to his team.

Dual-threat point guard who can really shoot the long-ball at a high clip and has great feet to get to his shot from different gathers. A little undersized, but tough going up against bigs at the basket and uses different types of slow-steps to counter shot-blockers. Really impressed with his desire to make plays on the defensive end this summer and excited to see him get going this winter.

Gillespie showed some electric ability behind the arc in their game against Union, showing he can inject some life into their offense with quick hitters from deep. Their offense got stagnant on a few occasions and struggled to open up driving lanes, but Gillespie has a quick release and looked to be aggressive with his space outside. He also made some nice reads defensively to get a steal on a peel switch and try to infuse energy and flow into their offense.

Elijah is a shifty guard who can attack with both hands really well. He is calm on offense, always making the extra pass and playing off 2 feet when getting downhill in the paint. Gillespie played fantastic defense too, moving his feet well and showing great agility/lateral movement.
