Phenom Hoops Evaluation:
“Continuing onto a player that arguably stood out as the most dependable spot-up threat on this roster, Clayton Gaither. 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. Next in his development process is working on adding strength, as it’ll only make him more physically imposing on either end 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.” Gaither quietly made an impression as one of the more reliable players on this team and could emerge as a strong piece for Providence over the next few years.”
