Brooklyn Nets center Patrick Gardner has been invited to come to training camp with Brooklyn in the fall, but until then, he is showing what he can do on a basketball court on the world stage. What Gardner has been doing thus far in the 2023 FIBA World Cup has been wonderful to watch.
In Egypt’s 100-72 win over Mexico on Tuesday, Gardner had 20 points and seven rebounds to help lead his team to the blowout victory. Impressively, Gardner went 7-of-12- from field, including going 4-of-7 from three-point land in a continuation of what he did at the college level.
Gardner is one of Egypt’s best players and while they are just 1-2 in this World Cup, Gardner has shown that he brings more to the table in addition to his shooting ability. Against Mexico, Gardner also had three assists to add more value to what he was already expected to do from his days at Marist College.
