Efficient, versatile frontcourt glue for Little Rock
In the 2024-25 season, Gatkek was a high-impact senior forward for Little Rock, averaging 10.8 points and 7.8 rebounds while shooting 56.3% from the field, and he piled up 42 assists, 28 blocks, and 29 steals—rare all-around production for a forward[2][13]. He showed real ceiling with a 20-point, 12-rebound, 5-assist, 2-block, 2-steal outing on 9-of-10 shooting against UT Martin, which screams energy, efficiency, and winning-play instincts[3][6][9]. The fit is appealing if a team wants a physical, active forward who defends, rebounds, and does the little things without needing the ball served on a silver platter[2][3].
