Gucci The Player, Not The Purse

[Exlaxchronicles 415]

    This years  2nd round 14th pick over all for Seattle was @JG10 a young kid with raw talent hoping to made an immediate impact with the big club.

He is already gargantuan in size topping 6'8" and weighing a hefty 250 pounds but with all that size Gucci brings some pretty good skills to go along with his generous frame.

 

Garrop put up respectable numbers last season in the minors with 30g and 68pts in his first full season with Yukon. Before that he played in 13 regular season and 9 in the playoffs with Saskatoon and was held pointless in all those games.

 

As for his skill set he can skate very well for a big guy and with decent checking ability and strong defensive play he is a capable player in the defensive zone.

Garrop is equally adept at setting up plays as well as scoring which helps him at center position. The knock on Gucci and it is a big one is his lack of puck handling, face off ability and not using his size to his advantage.

 

As a center man, Garrop needs to improve his ability in the face off circle, especially at crucial times in a game. At this point he isn't reliable enough to take the majority of them.

 

The other areas he needs work on are his stick handling skills. If he could improve in this area and add more physicality to his game he would be less prone to give a ways during game play. He has a ton of time to improve as he is a fresh face to the VHL and Seattle Bears. GM Banakcock has high hopes for this young player and Garrop should be a star in the making for the Bears if he continues on his current path.
