The lone representative of the class of 2017, Anthony Gaines got plenty of burn on the court thanks to his exceptional athleticism and injuries ahead of him on the depth chart. The freshman impressed with his hustle and high-flying dunks, as well as a solid five-game stretch to close out the year. A propensity for turnovers and a poor jump shot limited Gaines’ contributions on the offensive end. Nonetheless, no Wildcat improved more over the course of the season than Gaines did, and the 6-foot-4, 205-pounder has already carved out a role in Chris Collins’ rotation and a likely starting spot in 2018-19.
