A Tweet on Gbinije...

Hearing Syracuse may use Michael Gbinije more at PG in an effort to get Malachi Richardson more minutes on the wing. Would increase length.

Can't hear enough news right now. Can't wait to the practice tweets come out.

But it won't be Malachi.

Eh, at least to some extent. Everybody's going to play.

If its Malachi he will be up top on defense, Mike will play the wing on defense and be the PG on offense. Just like when Buss was in last year. If Mike plays out top on defense then I think the Tyler's are playing forward.

Not sure what this means for Joseph but, if true, it at least shows the coaches have a lot of faith in Malachi, which is nice.

Im all in on Kaleb and Gbinije being our best driving duo uptop since Scoop and Dion. I think we will see multiple consecutive possessions and long stretches with Cooney in the corner just for the same reason. And I love the idea of Dajuan Obokoh and Roberson near the low post to grab the offensive boards when they drive.

This team has crazy outside shooting potential they just need to get that midrange finishing down.

I also like the idea of Mike uptop off the fast break nobody is going to contest his shot in transition, and he will be our best on the ball defender. I would think we would be ok giving up 1 basket and one defensive rebound to have him up top pressuring. He's probably our best for getting in the passing lanes in the backline as well.

I think this team is going to be Villanova-esque, with a 3-guard lineup seeing plenty of run (though, Gbinije is kind of a hybrid G/).

Right about the G/ thing. Villanova never has G's like Mike at 6'7"!
