A prospect I caught at a preseason scrimmage, Gambrell played a heavy role for a young Padua program that is on the rise. Leading his team in assists while also scoring over 11 points per game shows Gambrell’s combination of scoring and playmaking ability. A quick-twitch athlete, Gambrell is explosive in the open court and has the athleticism and frame to be an impact defender on the ball. Gambrell’s highlight moment of his freshman season came on a buzzer-beater to defeat Elyria Catholic at home. Keep an eye out for Gambrell on the New Balance Circuit with Grind Until this summer as well as with Padua in June.
The freshman Gambrell impressed for a Padua squad that was maybe my biggest surprise of the day. Gambrell is an impressive athlete and didn’t look out of place at all as a freshman on varsity. Making some plays as a slasher, finding success going up in the paint or making a live dribble pass to a teammate. Gambrell also had some bright flashes as a defender, something that is required to see the floor as a freshman. Don’t sleep on Padua this winter!
