Khaliq Gant is a 6-foot-2 junior wing guard from Tabor Academy. The Georgia native, who would prefer to play his college ball in a warm weather climate, has a reputation for being a deadly shooter from three-point territory. His game has progressed this season to where he is taking the ball more and more to the rim, and is finishing. This past summer, Gant opted to work on his strength and it has shown in his game. He now is able to finish in the paint against bigger and stronger players, something he wasn't attempting to do a year ago. His bread and butter still comes from the perimeter. He is one of the top shooters in the nation from behind the arc.
