has been one of the most underrated duos in the state, and it seems that everyone is finally starting to catch on. Gonzales has been on a tear this season as he’s putting up over 18 points a game, and in his recent stretch, the ball has been finding him more as he leads the way. Gonzales is a three-level scorer who reads the floor well, has good timing and pace to his game, and he takes what’s given to him. He’s probing and looking to make plans happen while also feeding teammates when lanes open up. He’s averaging 6.6 assists, 5.4 rebounds, and also has over 4 steals a game, and that’s led to some easy scoring opportunities for him and teammates, but now they’ll face off against a team that can match that, so it will be on him to be decisive with the ball, trust in teammates but take over. I believe he’ll have a big game and do whatever in his power to keep the season alive. He’s a player who has earned respect along the way, and his team will look for him to keep pushing to stay dancing. Big game incoming.

Gonzales is skyrocketing at Fort Lupton because he’s simply a nightmare on both ends of the floor. Averaging 19.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 4.4 steals, he fills the stat sheet every night while showing the kind of versatility that separates good players from great ones. His triple double earlier this season of 18 points, 11 assists, 11 steals was a masterclass in dominance. Physical, relentless and defensively ferocious, he pressures opponents, creates turnovers and punishes mistakes. Add in his sharp shooting and tireless work ethic, and it’s clear Gonzales is a do it all star whose impact demands attention and keeps him rising fast

Gonzales brings skill with the ball, among the most energizing lead guards in this class. Adept at controlling the pace versus tight ball pressure, he is among a handful of true point guards in the state. Part of what has allowed the undersized guard to maintain success has been his facilitating abilities, adept at threading the needle through tight windows. This all follows averages of 16.5 points and 6.5 assists per game, set to control the flow for this group for the coming seasons. He is no slouch on the defensive end, adept at reading the floor to intercept passing lanes or pick the pocket of his opponent.

Gonzales has the ball on a string, one of the more exciting finesse perimeter playmakers in this class. A bold playmaker with the ball, the guard is adept at hitting cutters and rollers through tight windows, much more daring than the vast majority of lead guards in this class. Gonzales also provides finesse shotmaking inside the arc, adept at rising up for floaters or pull-up jumpers, especially efficient inside the free throw line. Defensively, although undersized, the guard has great instincts at the point of attack to cause deflections or poke the ball away from opposing playmakers.

Gonzales is a very smart passer, finding ways to set up teammates with easy shots across the floor. Effective threading passes through tight windows, the guard does an excellent job combining flash and IQ, having a bit of fun on passes. Either no looks or fakes, Gonzales is among the most exciting passers in the class. He shows confidence under duress, capable of stepping into three point attempts in big moments. His ability to add strength will be necessary for him at the next level, although he boasts notable upside, a true pass first guard.
