Gardner is lightning quick with the ball in his hands, and uses his explosive first step to blow by defenders and get to the rim. He’s a creative finisher around the rim who can finish through or around the contact. Defensively he uses his quick feet to stay in front of opposing ball handlers. He’ll need to continue to improve his jumper to add more to his offensive game, but his ability to break down a defense and get into the paint is rivaled by few in the state.
