He's an active defender, playing passing lanes and pressuring the ball while looking to push the pace offensively and get paint touches which usually end with a made basket or a play to a teammate. He's done well to show his impact when given opportunities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Markquan Gilbert, 6'4 G/W, Ben L Smith</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gilbert is a 2023 prospect that's climbed onto the PrepHoops radar over the past few months.
