Admon Amon Gilder Jr. (born November 14, 1995) is an American professional basketball player who last played for Élan Béarnais Pau-Orthez of the LNB Pro B. He played college basketball for the Texas A&M Aggies and the Gonzaga Bulldogs.
Gilder is the son of Admon Gilder Sr. and Paula Gilder, who is a breast cancer survivor. He began playing basketball at eight years old.[1] He attended James Madison High School in Dallas, Texas, where he participated in basketball, cross country, and track and field. As a freshman, he averaged 15 points per game and earned District 11 3A freshman of the year honor. As a sophomore, Gilder averaged 22 points per game and led the team to a state title, being named District MVP. He led Madison to another state title as a junior and was named tournament MVP, averaging 26 points per game. He scored a career-high 43 points as a junior against Dallas Carville High School.[2] As a senior, Gilder averaged 30.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 3.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. He led Madison to a 25–8 record and a Class 4A state semifinal finish, earning recognition as the 2015 11-4A District MVP. Gilder was named Gatorade Texas Player of the Year.[3]
Gilder was considered a four-star recruit by 247Sports, ESPN, Rivals, and Scout. He was a member of ESPN's Top 100 in the Class of 2015 and was ranked by ESPN as the sixth-best prospect in Texas as well as the No. 17 shooting guard. In November 2014, Gilder signed with Texas A&M over offers from Baylor, Oklahoma State and SMU.[2]
As a freshman, Gilder averaged seven points and 2.3 rebounds per game, joining Tyler Davis and D. J. Hogg on a team that reached the Sweet 16.[4] He averaged 13.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game as a sophomore. Gilder averaged 12.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game as a junior, helping Texas A&M reach the Sweet 16.[5] He suffered a meniscus tear in December 2017, forcing him to miss five games.[6] Coming into his senior season, Gilder was hampered by knee and hamstring injuries.[7] He missed the 2018–19 season with a blood clot, forcing doctors to remove a rib. By the time he was cleared to play, coach Billy Kennedy had been fired.[8]
Gilder decided to transfer to Gonzaga for his final season of eligibility.[9] He saw five straight double-figure scoring games to open the season, but his production declined and he was replaced in the starting lineup by Joël Ayayi.[10] Despite battling knee issues, Gilder maintained his contributions to the team.[11] He averaged 10.7 points per game for the Bulldogs.[12]
On June 24, 2021, Gilder signed with Lahti Basketball of the Finnish Korisliiga.[13]
