Expert Analysis
Tony Roe | Prep Hoops Scout
The future Northwest Missouri State wing didn’t have his best shooting night, and a lot of that can be credited to a stellar North Linn defense, but he found other ways to contribute for the Blazers, finishing with 14 points on 5-13 shooting (2-7 3P), 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks, and a steal. His offensive game is smooth, with a pure, effortless stroke and plenty of range. He has a quick release on his jumper and with his size, he’s able to get it off without being too bothered by contesting defenders. He flashed improved confidence in his ball-handling and passing, dishing out six helpers, and he’s always going to contribute in a major way on the glass. He makes things look easy on the hardwood.

Read EvaluationTony Roe | Prep Hoops Scout
A big wing with one of the most pure strokes in the state, Gallagher averaged 20.4 points and 8.5 rebounds a game with impressive 51-42-86 shooting splits. He established himself as one of the best shooters in the state early on, and then added more to his game as he got older. Last year the ability to create his own shot at a high level really took off, showing the ability to put the ball on the floor and get to the rim routinely. When Gallagher gets it rolling, few players in the state are more fun to watch.

A big, physical 6-5 wing, Gallagher is one of the best all-around offensive players in the 2023 class. Armed with a silky smooth stroke both off the dribble and the catch, he averaged 20.4 points on 51-42-86 shooting splits as a junior. He’s able to take smaller defenders onto the block and score or take bigger defenders off the dribble to get to his shots.
