Scouting Journals for Matt Gilhool

Very real intrigue with the long term prospects of Matthew Gilhool. At 6-10, he is a very fluid athlete combining vertical pop with lateral ability. The lefty has natural shot block timing around the basket and he can slide his feet and open his hips on the defensive end. He is still getting used to his body and the speed of the game, strength will be necessary, but the physical natural tools are readily apparent. Offensively, Gilhool is a capable and confident shooter. Off the catch, he has a fluid load with a consistent release. He is able to push the break with control and get the ball to its proper areas. There is a mid post game and footwork there as well. Again, he needs continued strength and in-game reps, but there is a lot here to work with.
