Michael Gilchrist

Scouting Reports:
June 2009 - This high energy forward always has an impact. Michael attacked off the dribble time and time again. He hit a runner in the lane and did an excellent job of finishing around the rim. He’s one of the best around when it comes to converting. He ran the floor well too in the contest. Michael scored on a putback too. It’s easy to see why he’s so highly regarded when performance like this are the norm (Brian Crownover at Rumble in the Bronx).

Feb 2009 - Gilchrist is the nation’s best sophomore and it was easy to see why after dominating against a talented Oak Hill team. Michael brings so much energy every time he takes the court. Rarely will you find anyone who can outwork him and that rang true in this one. The athletic forward has a nose for the ball and just finds ways to put it in the basket. He has very good hands. Michael is an excellent rebounder on both ends of the floor and a stellar finisher around the rim and in traffic. He pulled down rebounds on both ends of the court. He runs the floor very well and scores in transition. As he continues to progress, he could show more on the wing. He’ll also have to get stronger before he gets to the next level. Michael is a terrific talent though as was evident from the 30 point outburst (Brian Crownover at Primetime Shootout).
