The Apple's Best Ballaz

Gary Ervin 6'1 PG Robeson

Gary's game reminds me a lot of Steve Francis. But a year ago I would not be able to have said that. In the past year, Gary has developed a very reliable jump shot. The things that remain constant are his ability to rebound from the guard spot, and finding the open man. He is also one of the most athletic players in the city, combine that with his strength and you get a player who is virtually impossible to guard. On the other side of the ball he is a very tough defender, and he knows how to play the passing lanes. Last season he suffered the heartbreak of making it to the championship and losing, but this year you can expect he won't let that happen twice.
