Tilmon has touch as a back to the basket post player. However, he struggled to get clean looks vs. The Patrick Shool’s defense. He finished with 4 points on 1-8 shooting and 6 rebounds.

Tilmon continues to show that he is one of the country’s premier interior threats. He has the size to take up space inside while showing the willingness to mix it up in the paint as well.

Tilmon is a guy who can probably play either post position longterm. He battled inside with Udoka Azubuike (FL-16) here showing that he can play center in a one-post system. Tilmon runs the floor well and consistently which makes him a prospect that teams nationwide will covet. We didn’t see him showcase much offensively outside of putbacks and transition finishes.
