Antonio Gates Jr.
6'4'' 240 lbs.
SF
20 years old
Kent State
Ratings: C+ C- C+ B- B A
Positives: Just like his dad, AGJ is a super freak athletically. He turned down many offers to play at big name schools, like Duke and Kentucky, to follow in his daddy's foot steps at Kent State. He made quick work of the ultra soft MAC conference and is emerging as a junior in this year's draft. AGJ is a monster out on the wing at 240. He isn't super quick and his height isn't ideal, but he can post up a defender like nobody's business. After watching film on his dad boxing out linebackers and safeties, he's been able to parlay those attributes onto the basketball court. He's an extremely good rebounder and a very capable man on defender. He can dunk at will and should be a very solid inside option.
Negatives: Not quick. His big body is more suited for football instead of as a wing running the fast break. His shot is pretty rough. He won't hit much from the foul line and out. He's also very short and won't be a factor in the paint on defense as he won't get blocks. His brick hands also won't help with steals.
Overall: AGJ looks to be just as solid as his dad, but in a different sport. He has the size to be dominant in an inside offense. He'll stack up double-doubles and spark fear in opponent's eyes.
