Each and every time Phenom Hoop Report gets to report or sees a commitment from a player we have seen over the years, it is always a fantastic day. It is great to see players achieve their goal to play at the next level and it is such a great accomplishment for that player.
Here is the latest commitment.
Player: Lance Gill
Class: 2023
Committed to: Winston Salem State
What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
“Although the Royals have generated a ton of buzz throughout the last calendar year, it still feels like Lance Gill is somewhat underrated in the bigger scheme of things. The appeal should be fairly obvious with a long, skilled wing prospect with the ability to score at an efficient rate from anywhere on the floor. While he did battle some injuries, Gill has shown more than enough to warrant opportunities from scholarship-level coaches. He understands how to be an impactful contributor as the primary option or as a complementary piece—both resulting in success. Gill can effectively spot-up, create his own shot, or find seams within the defense as a cutter. He also provides a reliable presence defensively and on the glass.”
“Gill is a natural utility piece who understands how to affect all facets of the game while outworking his matchup on either end of the floor. He’s a quality cutter and penetrator with the ability to finish above or below the rim. Gill displays feel and a high motor, which allows him to regularly make his presence felt defensively and on the glass. He’s a useful passer and ball-handler who has continually improved as a perimeter shooter. There’s definitely a lot to like with Gill (who could ultimately be more valuable in the collegiate ranks), so it’ll be exciting to see what scholarship-level programs get involved over these next few months.”
“Lance Gill in our opinion will be the team’s “glue guy.” Gill averaged 9.6 points per game and over 5.0 rebounds per game, but more importantly filled the stat sheet with steals, assists, block shots and just making winning plays. In addition, Gill is a player that makes hustle plays and has a knack of being at the right place at the right time. Gill is a high energy guy that his comfortable being the “go to” guy or complimentary teammate.”
