Strengths: Most gifted players at the high school level allow their talent to carry them on most nights. Gilchrist combines his talent with a passion and drive that you do not see too often from a high school athlete. His athleticism makes him an incredible rebounder who tracks down boards all over the floor and above the rim. His ball-handling has improved to the level where he can rebound the ball and lead a fast break while making good decisions. He is the ultimate mismatch as an offensive player in the halfcourt. Put a bigger player on him and he will beat you off the dribble, throw a smaller player on him and he will post you up. He possesses a deadly pull-up jumper to 15-feet and has improved his 3-point shooting so that you must respect him to 20-feet. On the defensive end, he is tenacious and really gets up for the challenge of shutting opponents down. He plays great team defense, which is a trademark for a Kevin Boyle-coached team.
