Gurdak was the most impressive freshman that I saw on the B side. The 6-foot-5 well-put together wing is a fluid athlete who brings a commanding sense of physicality to the floor. His older brother, Christian (Va Tech), was a bruising big man who shined for Gonzaga but his brother seems to have more of a perimeter-based skillset. He’s another prospect that poses as a mismatch problem because of his combination of size and strength, which was on display when opposing wings tried to keep him away from the bucket. He absorbs contact well and maintains focus on finishes to convert through the harm. He’s a capable shot maker from three to keep his defender honest as well. Gurdak’s best performance came in the slim semifinal loss where he led the way with an impressive 26-point outing where the scoring ability was showcased. He averaged 19 points per game on 56 percent shooting from the field in the two games played.
