Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
The 6-foot-6 wing/forward has good moves to operate in the post, continues to develop his overall offensive skill set, and is active on the glass. Gartner had a strong showing on Day 1 of the Shootout for Sanger, as he would go for 10 points in his team’s win over Arroyo Grande, followed by a 10 point second half in a great game against North Bakersfield, and was showing the ability to score the ball in various ways. Gartner has good footwork in the paint, the moves to create space from his defender in tight quarters, using the drop-step, spin-move, pump-fake into the up-and-under, and is effective with the mid-post jumper. Gartner has enough handle to attack from the top of the key, the body control to absorb contact and score at the basket, solid court vision to make reads to players cutting off the ball, is active on the glass to get points off the put-back, limits opponents to single shot possessions, and does a great job getting up the court in transition to make himself available. Gartner sets a solid screen, seals his defender off to dive to the basket, and has nice touch on the score in close range to the cup. Gartner is one of the more intriguing senior prospects with his size, length, and rapidly developing offensive skill set, JUCOs have been reaching out more and more.
