More on Kiwi Gardner

Just saw this evaluation on Kiwi Gardner: "Freakishly quick, Gardner plays with urgency every play. Tremendous ball skills whether in traffic or open court. Can defend bigger, stronger and athletic. Best defender I’ve seen in years. His presence on the court makes everyone better. Explosive 1st step. Can score in traffic. Has solid range from beyond the arc. Plays with reckless abandon which is a plus now but will need to tone it down at the MM-HM level. Have had 2 Pac 10 coaches tell me could be in same category as Jerome Randle."

The opportunity for a life-shaping college education and the chance to play on a big stage will be there if Kiwi takes care of the academics. He has 'it' -- may he employ that to the utmost in all aspects of his life.
