A quick decision maker in the open floor, Gavi has been vital to Legend’s 24-3 success this past season. One of the more consistent perimeter shooters in the class, opponents repeatedly allowed prime scoring opportunities for her off the catch. Her quick release makes her difficult to contain, especially when paired with her naturally quick acceleration with the ball. While attacking the rim, she could get to floaters and high hand finishes in front of the defense, not fazed by a nearby contest. Another area of value was her defense, assertive hustling all over the floor to create chaos whenever possible.

Gavi will be a frequent cover here over the coming seasons thanks to her notable quickness on both ends. She utilizes her speed and shotmaking to put the defense under constant pressure, carefully choosing her spots. She is the definition of a two-way player, not wasting any energy throughout her possessions, highly impactful within a low usage environment at Legend. Like many of Legend’s guards, Gavi is a knockdown shooter within tight spaces, possessing a fluid release. Notching 42% from behind the arc on 26 attempts through her first four games, the guard is simply dependable. As one of the most impactful players on a top 6A program, Gavi deserves more recognition throughout her high school career.

Gavi brings a refined offensive skillset, letting the defense dictate her next move to pick her spots. Efficient beyond the arc, defenses are forced to make hard closeouts, although her quick first step following a ball reversal has been excellent. Capable of getting to short floaters before help arrives, the guard is truly impactful in so many ways within only a couple dribbles. Her quickness across the board has aided her perimeter defense, stifling versus so many ball handlers.
