Gurdak brings several impressive skills to Virginia Tech’s basketball program. His ability to execute a smooth fadeaway jumper, create space effectively, and finish over smaller defenders with a well-executed elbow jumper off pick-and-rolls stands out. He also poses a challenge on the offensive glass due to his toughness and knack for scoring around the basket.
What sets Gurdak apart is his vision and decision-making. He can pass out of double teams, read the floor adeptly, and keep the offense flowing even when his shot isn’t available. These attributes, combined with his polished offensive game, reflect his dedication and understanding of positioning on both ends of the court.
Having chosen Virginia Tech over Notre Dame after being recruited by the Hokies since the age of 14, Gurdak’s commitment underscores his long-term relationship and confidence in the program. Fans can anticipate an exciting future for Gurdak in Blacksburg, where he is poised to make a significant impact starting next season.
