Expert Analysis
Michael Roth | Prep Hoops Scout
A player who got on my radar from the Prep Hoops Expo in the fall, Gast is a high IQ forward who wants to play around the rim. Gast showed off his passing ability from the post and knew where to be off the ball as a cutter, screen setter and help-side defender. Gast earned an invite to the Toledo Top 64 in the Fall as well and has helped Anthony Wayne to a 1-1 start on the young season.

I really liked what I saw from Gast as a player I came in very unfamiliar with. Gast clearly knew how to play as he was in the right spots as a help-side defender, found holes in the defense to make himself available and was in the right spots to position himself for offensive rebounds. Combine those skills with a couple pick and pop 3-pointers and Gast was clearly one of the most productive new names at the showcase.

Gast is one of the more under-the-radar players in this field, but he’s the type of guy who quickly earns respect. Though he’s an undersized big, he plays with a toughness and edge that more than makes up for it. He’s a monster on the glass and has the mentality to do all the dirty work teams need. Coaches love players like Gast because of his competitiveness and energy, and I think he’s going to turn heads in this setting.
