Gardner has the potential to be a serious steal for a mid major program even with some clear drawbacks. She is still very raw and does not have much yet in the scoring department outside of 15 feet. However what she does have is an athletic build that should continue to fill out. She has a very high motor and seems to genuinely love the game. She can finish around the rim with both hands and is an active rebounder who will go out of her area to track down the ball. Defensively she protects the rim with her length. Gardner has plenty of room to grow but a patient staff that excels in player development could unlock a nice rotational piece.
