Gabe is an explosive wing who is relentless at pushing the tempo. Gabe is aggressive and a physically imposing force, whether in transition or attacking off the bounce, using his speed and quickness as a weapon to put heavy pressure on the defense to create opportunities for himself or his teammates. Gabe is a versatile stud with a high IQ who can adapt to different situations, whether it’s driving to the basket, hitting mid-range shots, or locking down on defense. Gabe uses his size and strength to be a force on the boards as well as a nasty defender.
This past season Gabe averaged 11.7 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists. The most motivating factor that pushed Gabe forward was seeing the progress he made with his teammates and the bond they built on and off the court. Watching how their hard work in practice translated into better performance during games fueled his determination to keep improving. It wasn’t just about winning, it was about growing together as a team and knowing that each step forward brought them closer to reaching their full potential. Gabe's goals going into the season are to improve his skills, become a more consistent scorer, and improve his defense. He wants to step up as a leader, push his teammates to work harder and help build better team chemistry. Ultimately, Gabe is focused on making a bigger impact every game and driving the team toward a winning season
Playing the AAU session for the Wisconsin Playmakers Gabe's goals are to improve his skills on the court, particularly focusing on ball-handling, shooting accuracy, and defensive plays.
