Coach Flynn Clayman and the High Point Panthers have added one of the most quietly effective forwards in the portal with the commitment of Isaac Garrett from Oakland Golden Grizzlies.

Garrett’s game is incredibly smooth, connective, and efficient. 

In short – the perfect modern big for the Panthers’ system.

Scouting Breakdown

Proven Against Real Competition

After transferring up Garrett was thrown into a brutal early season schedule and responded immediately.

Against high major opponents like Michigan and Houston, he produced. Not just survived. Produced.

That matters.

High IQ Offensive Connector

Garrett operates as a decision maker.

High post touches. Short roll reads. Quick passes.

He keeps the ball moving and the offense flowing.

Efficient Interior Scoring

He does not force offense.

He finishes it.

Over fifty three percent from the field and elite at the free throw line. Strong touch. Great balance. Smart shot selection.

Rebounding and Stability

Garrett led Oakland in rebounding and consistently ends possessions.

He is not explosive. He is reliable. Always in position. Always doing his job.

Fit at High Point

This is a perfect system fit.

High Point thrives on pace and movement. Garrett gives them structure within that chaos.

He becomes the player that keeps possessions clean, efficient, and connected.

HPU Comparison

Garrett’s offensive game mirrors Owen Aquino’s touch and feel. He’s also always in the correct position defensively like Aquino. Add in Cade Potter’s physicality and rebounding and you have a pretty good idea of Isaac’s game. 

Final Word

Garrett raises the floor.

He brings efficiency.

He brings intelligence.

He brings stability.

And that is what allows everything else to work.
