Chris Gaston's updated profile on ESPN Recruittracker (he went from a grade of 80 to a grade of 83):
Chris Gaston | Small Forward Hometown: Newark, NJ New Hampton School (NH) Ht: 6'7" Wt: 210 Last Updated:2/17/2009 Data provided by Scouts, Inc.
Evaluation / Notes On the Trail / Features Status Signed
Scouts Grade 83
Also Considered: Evaluation February, 2009: Gaston, with his athleticism and rapidly emerging offensive game, plays the game impressively as a face-up power forward. He has very good leaping ability and length in addition to a quick second jump, which allows him to collect a number of rebounds on the offensive end. Gaston has sneaky strength despite his wiry build, but he needs to increase his level of strength in order to play the 4 successfully on the next level. He uses this strength and leaping ability to finish plays around the hoop with his nice touch. Gaston has to continue to improve his footwork with his back to the basket to score off post-ups. Gaston also can use his quickness to drive past slower bigs and when he does, Gaston uses a very sweet, quick spin move to free himself for lay-ins. He also uses his good body control to adjust in the air for lay-ups. Though he does not rank as a great shooter, Gaston can score from the perimeter using the jump shot, especially in the 15-17 feet range. He changes ends very well and should have the ability to finish plays in transition given his good leaping ability.
