Ian was one of the most intriguing interior prospects at the 2026 King’s Klassic. Playing for the hosts, Gause flashed a little bit of what makes him one of the top youngsters in the Pee Dee area. He put up 13 points and 9 rebounds, including a buzzer-beater to send the game to overtime. He has really shown good progression with his jump shot this season and will always have the length to work the offensive glass and finish at the rim, but if he can add a little bit of strength to hold up defensively and work offensively from the dunker spot, he will be a very good player.
