Expert Analysis

Gio put on a scoring clinic in both games that I watched on day two, possibly looking like the best guard in Minnesota’s freshman class. He’s coming off of a deep state playoff run with Apple Valley and you can tell his feel and experience is above the age group he is playing. He was scoring from all three levels, being automatic on step back jumpers from three. Horton is super quick and is also a crafty finisher inside, drawing a lot of fouls as well.

Gio is coming off of a productive freshman season with Class 4A runner-up Apple Valley, looking more than ready to step into an expanded role next year. The 5’11” guard was a microwave scorer this past weekend, taking over at points in the games I watched. He was tough to stay in front of with the ball in his hands, forcing defenders to play up on him due to his shooting presence. Horton was getting buckets from inside and outside, making it look easy playing up.

Gio looks like a dynamic scoring guard to watch coming up in Minnesota. He showed a lot of confidence shooting from the perimeter, showing deep range and difficult shot making ability. He found success when playing on or off the ball, letting it fly when given any space. Horton was fun to watch and will be a prospect to monitor in this talented 2029 class.
