GRADUATION YEAR: 2022

SCHOOL: Fredrick Douglass Academy
STRENGTHS:
– Playing downhill, both with and without the basketball – Gibson really likes, and is very comfortable, playing an aggressive style of offense. He seems to stay in attack mode.
– Setting the tone / controlling the offense
– Defense – Plays solid on ball and off ball defense (skilled enough to be a defensive stopper). Defense travels, and his should carry over to the next level.
– Coachability – He’s a natural student of the game that likes to learn. He can be put in any system and will learn it and excel.
– Finishing at the rim – He has great touch around the bucket and can finish at a high percentage and with creativity.
– Underrated perimeter passer
AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
– Coming off ball screens – This would give him another way to attack the rim and allow for more scoring opportunities.
– Increased range, and consistency with, his jumper. This will keep the defense honest when defending him and make attacking the rim off the bounce that much easier for him.
