Stretch-5 production with real old-school bruiser upside
In the 2022-23 season, Gardner was Marist’s engine, averaging 19.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.9 assists while shooting 49.7% from the field and 38.3% from three as a 6-11 center. He’s the kind of big who stretches defenses, scores inside and out, and gives you mature, team-first production after a long climb through JUCO and multiple college stops. If you need a skilled center who can space the floor and rebound without needing the ball like a diva, he’s very much your guy.
