Each and every time Phenom Hoop Report gets to report or sees a commitment from a player we have seen over the years, it is always a fantastic day. It is great to see players achieve their goal to play at the next level and it is such a great accomplishment for that player.
Here is the latest commitment.
Player: Clayton Gaither
Class: 2023
Committed to: Roanoke
What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
“He’s a long, wiry guard prospect with excellent perimeter shooting and the combination of mechanics and quick release to make a constant impact. Gaither displays an unselfish mentality, quality overall feel for the game, and the ability to operate effectively within his role on both ends of the floor. Coach Wilson on Gaither: “Clayton is a really good shooter with nice touch. He’s a good finisher and possesses good length for his position. He can work to improve his strength and confidence. Clayton has a nice midrange shot and the ability to score from all three levels.”
“He’s an excellent complementary player with the blend of IQ, size, motor, and well-rounded ability to make a lasting impression in any game. Though Gaither stood out as the clear leader of Providence High School, he’s simply the type of player who performs better within a role—as evidenced with PSB Larkin. This past weekend, his energy and natural nose for the ball allowed him to make a constant impact. Gaither is a reliable finisher with cutting instincts, useful athleticism, and the ability to knock down jumpers at a respectable clip. He was arguably the most valuable defensive cog for this group, able to toggle between multiple positions, force turnovers at a solid rate, and make plays in transition. Gaither is a very useful two-way player who embraces his identity exceptionally well. Folks should expect to see him at the next level.”
“On the season, the junior prospect has been one of the leaders on the court for Providence, as he is averaging 13.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game. He has shown that he isn’t afraid to find his shot and can provide a scoring threat from multiple levels. The lefty can play multiple positions on the floor with his length, as he is showing that this season and showed it this summer with PSB.”
