The 6-foot-3 wing/slasher is a versatile defender, can score in volume, and does all the little things that help a team win, as was evident on Day 1 of the Shootout. Gonzalez was a key reason that the Bears were able to pull away from Liberty of Bakersfield in the second half. Gonzalez uses his physical frame and skill set to create scoring opportunities in the post, where he has the footwork and moves to score in close quarters, using the spin-move, drop-step, and up-and-under, as well as the floater down the lane or off the baseline to show off the scoring arsenal around the basket. Gonzalez moves well off the ball, gets to his shot spots, is effective with the 3-ball off the catch, has the physical build to absorb and score through contact at the basket, has the court vision to make quality reads with the ball in his hands, is active on the glass, and has the lateral movement to stay in front of perimeter players, as well as the strength to hold up against bigger players on occasion. Gonzalez will be a key veteran player for the Bears this season, and Buchanan will need him to consistently impact all aspects of the game as a swiss army knife.

Gonzalez is a physical and skilled wing/forward that knows how to create in the paint, as well as from the perimeter, makes quality basketball decisions, and plays with relentless energy on both ends of the court. Gonzalez had two solid scoring outputs in his two games played at the Prospect Preview, going for 7 points and 5 rebounds in his first game, followed by a 6 point showing in the Top 30 All-Star Game. Gonzalez has a strong handle on the ball, has a variety of moves to create off the dribble, using the crossover combos, hesitation, and spin-move to get his defender off balance, has the body control and physical attributes to score through contact on shots at the basket, is effective with the middy off the bounce, moves freely off the ball to get to his shot spots, and is accurate with the 3-ball off the catch. Gonzalez has touch on the floater, crashes the boards for put-backs off them miss, limits opponents to single shot possessions, outlets the ball quickly to get up the court to score in transition, and is a versatile defender that can hold up against bigger players in the paint, but has the lateral movement and active hands to stay in front of perimeter players, with the timing to jump passing lanes, deflect passes, or alter perimeter shots.
