Prospect Profile

Following a redshirt season, Gwath has emerged as one of the most underrated players in the country in his first true collegiate season. He’s a dynamic 7-footer who has plenty to develop — especially physically — but has an interesting baseline skillset. 

Gwath makes some really advanced shots for a player of his size and experience. His face-up game has a lot of promise and he’s comfortable putting the ball on the deck. Furthermore, he’s an adequate positional passer who brings a lot to the table when it comes to his offensive ceiling. The 7-footer is a double-double threat every game, given his rebounding production, which is fueled by good ball timing. 

On the defensive end, Gwath is a very good shot blocker, but really needs to add strength and mass to emerge as a great NBA defender. The instincts appear to be there with him, which, combined with his length, makes him an intriguing defensive prospect. 

Gwath could very easily be a prospect that an NBA team takes a flyer on this summer, or he could return to school and rise boards ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft. In either case, he’s someone to keep an eye on.
