Legendary Upside on Kenneth Gainwell

From the video

how versatile he is, great with the ball in his hands, very smart, great pass protector, and made this comment that uh we'll continue to find out where we can put him in the best spots along with Bucky... Gainwell can kind of take over some of that like Rashad White third down roll stuff, but on second down, second and six, they kind of hit Bucky with a quick hitter

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

1B back with pass-game role; won't steal Irving's designed targets or second-down work.

Positioned as 1B to Bucky Irving's 1A in the Bucks backfield. Zack Robinson described Gainwell as versatile with great ball-in-hand skills, smart, and a strong pass protector. Robinson's messaging indicates the team will continue to find optimal spots for Gainwell alongside Irving in the offense. Gainwell can assume some of Rashad White's third-down role, but Irving is the preferred second-down and quick-hitter target. Gainwell is not stealing Irving's schemed-up designed targets or second-down touches, though he does represent legitimate competition for Irving's overall volume.
