Eric Gaines

Draft Notes

Gaines is an absolutely electric athlete with special speed and leaping ability. Learning to harness this athleticism and develop his play-making skills will take his game to a new level.

It’s rare to see a 6-2 player attack the rim with such a vengeance and bring the hammer down on defenders the way Gaines does. He’s one of the more exciting players to watch in the country.
