Expert Analysis
Cobe Hansen | Prep Hoops Scout
While watching Garner, you can tell that he is a veteran who understands who he is as a player. To illustrate this, take a look at his 88%(!) field goal percentage this season, including a ridiculous 25/26 from two. He is a great athlete who makes an impact on both ends. He is great at finishing inside and demonstrates great touch at the basket. He has been a force on the glass as well. When you combine this with his ability shoot the three when needed (4/7 this year so far), you end up with the kind of player that every guy wants to play with.
One of the things that I noticed about Garner was that he does a very good job of finding the soft spot in traffic for guys to get him the ball. This is a subtle thing, but it is very effective and is one of the things that helps him be a difference maker even as a player who is not ball-dominant. He is currently one of the leading scorers in Class B, and figures to be a key piece for a Norris team that has championship expectations.
