Collin Gillespie has signed a four-year contract extension with the Phoenix Suns, enhancing the presence of former Villanova players in the NBA. Eight former Wildcats are currently on NBA rosters, including Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges, both of whom recently helped the New York Knicks secure the championship. Brunson's earlier decision to leave $113 million on the table has positioned him for a significant payday after the 2027-28 season.
