Prep Hoops evaluation
Brock Gilbert doesn’t look the part of a potential college basketball recruit but his performance says differently. He is able to blow my defenders with a quick first step and cause damage by scoring or finding teammates. Gilbert has great court vision which will be a huge asset at the college level. I think if Gilbert can add some muscle to his frame he can play at the junior college and potentially the division two level.
