A versatile forward prospect, Gardner’s best asset is her motor and how hard she plays. Always active on both ends of the court, Savannah is capable of pulling down a rebound and pushing the break. She was limited to only 3 games last season due to injury but has been playing AAU and having a productive season thus far.

Gardner had to miss most of the season with an injury, but she got to return to play in CAL’s final game of the season. Despite the fact that she was only cleared to play eight minutes in total, she certainly made the most of those eight minutes. Gardner scored 10 points, grabbed seven rebounds, and came up with a steal and assist. And she did that against a very talented team that made it to the regional championship game. That was just a small glimpse of what Gardner brings to the floor: a 3 level scorer, an excellent rebounder, a disruptive defender, and a great team player.

Gardner is one of the most versatile players on this list because she impacts the game in many ways, inside and out. She consistently plays with a high motor. Hustle plays, tough rebounds, constant deflections and steals. Anything that requires pure effort, Gardner does. She has good length, but she also has good speed and athleticism so she can truly play or guard any position. She really makes things tough on the offense as a defender, regardless of who she’s playing. Gardner is an excellent offensive asset as well. She can handle the ball, she makes strong drives to the basket, she has good court vision, she makes good passes, and she can really shoot the ball. She’ll impact the game no matter who’s surrounding her and I think she’ll have a lot of success in her junior season.
