Gabe plays the game really under control, knowing what he is going to do before he gets the ball in his hands. He sets great screens, being able to pick or pop in the pick and roll game. He absorbs contact in the paint well, using his frame to get and-one buckets by playing off two feet too. He can knock down the deep shot and handle the ball nicely too, being an offensive threat.

Smith put together a pretty outstanding sophomore season at Medical Lake, and in a few events this spring, he’s showcased a real ability to score the ball. It starts with his outside shooting at 6-foot-6, but he also has some strength that helps him battle inside and score off the bounce. I’ll be interested to see how he matures physically because he already displays a lot of technical ability.

Smith is a pretty well built forward/wing who has demonstrated the footwork and ball skills to score out of different spots on the floor. He has the touch to finish in various ways in close, and he has also been consistent enough from behind the arc to force defenses to follow him all around the court. He handles the ball well enough to utilize his strength and get to his spots and has been a pretty impactful player for Medical Lake this season.
