<p class="text-gray-700">At 6'8”, Gavin is a versatile force who can do a little bit of everything on the court. His size, combined with his skill set, allows him to impact the game in multiple ways—whether it's scoring, rebounding, defending, or creating opportunities for his teammates. Gavin's ability to stretch the floor with his shooting while also being a presence in the paint makes him a matchup nightmare. He moves with agility for his size, allowing him to guard multiple positions and contribute on both ends.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">At 6'8”, Gallagher is a dominant interior force who can't be denied. His strength and physicality make him a problem for opponents on both ends of the floor. In the paint, he uses his size to score efficiently, control the boards, and protect the rim. Defenders struggle to contain him as he overpowers matchups and finishes through contact. On defense, his presence alters shots and disrupts offensive flow, making him a key anchor in the paint.</p>
