“Gavin is quite possibly the best player I have ever seen come out of southern Nevada. He’s an amazing talent, but unlike a lot of players that score—and make no mistake he scores at an alarming rate—he plays within the team concept. He is so unselfish and assists his teammates. That’s what makes him so hard to handle; he makes the right play for the team.”
David Ostler
