The Story
Gideon Scheeler is a 22-year-old dunker from Saint Paul, Minnesota, and one of the most explosive athletes on the squad. At 5’9″ he jumps a 47-inch vertical and does nearly everything off the dribble.
Off the court he is a professional pianist and musician studying at the University of Minnesota. He became the shortest person ever to hit the hide-and-seek dunk on a regulation 10-foot rim, and he is a force at every Minnesota Dunk Squad session.
