Gage is an athlete. He looks like a football player and plays with a smoothness of a hoops player. He is a great football player by the way. He scored 15 points for Xpress, getting some nice mid-range jumpers early on. He highlited his night with a dunk cutting to the basket in the 2nd half. This is a strong and physical kid who has versatility in his game. He can score in the paint and did so on several occasions. He is a good enough athlete to guard all over the floor. He should be the man for W.F West next season. Expect a lot of high flying buckets from him with his style of play.

Gage is another big time athlete with a lot of potential to grow his game. He is explosive and can get himself to the bucket using his athleticism. He has a nice touch from three and should become a knock down shooter from anywhere on the floor. He has that potential already, but needs to be more aggressive on the offensive end and look to score with confidence. He checks all the boxes for a guard physically. He is capable of driving the lane and throwing down dunks, which he has done. Once he gets himself into the flow of the game and starts making shots, he can become a weapon on offense. He has the ability to be a lock down defensive player with his strength and athletic ability. He was also an all-state wide receiver in football. These first three players are high ceiling, talented players who are all physically gifted.

Gage brings exceptional athleticism and strength to the court, and it shows in his ability to nail tightly contested pullups from the mid-range, and in his ability to twist and twirl to the rim. If he has an edge on his defender, it’s game over. There are not many guys that can hold their ground against Brumfield when he gets an angle to the rim. However, one area he can still improve on is shot selection. I think because he is so powerful, he feels he can get his shot at just about any time. While it does result in some pretty plays, if he can develop a few more finesse moves to garner more space for his shot, he should be able to convert at a higher rate and boost those scoring numbers while expending a little less energy. There’s a lot of potential for Brumfield to be a high-octane slasher and playmaker on the defensive end, but a little more finesse could go a long way in helping speed up that process.

Gage is a very athletic wing who impresses me every time I see him on the court. He showed off his vertical quite a bit during the football season, but continues to show it off by slamming the ball with force. He’s really good at getting to the bucket to either finish at the rim or dish it to his big man, Soren Dalan Soren Dalan 6'10" | C W.F. West | 2023 State WA .

Gage is absolutely set for a massive breakout season. WF West had a great year last year and Gage played a big part of the team as the starting point guard. His game has been growing over the summer, as he seems more athletic, agile, and quick. All things that will start to separate him from other players. He attacks the rim hard, finishing the ball consistently through traffic sometimes even dunking on players who are a couple inches taller than him. I personally think he’s one of the best shooters in the entire class. He lets it fly and it’s a beautiful thing to watch. Brumfield is an elite defender as well, being able to move his feet very well and staying in front of the offensive player with ease. WF West is poised for a big season with Gage and company.
