Certainly friend of yours, who isn't?
I expect this team to be better than most so called experts projected. I think they are underestimating the talent on this team with what Xmas, Cooney, Gbinije, C-mac, Roberson, Joseph, Peterson, and BJ. I expect some growing pains early due to chemistry issues, but by the start of the conference games, things are going start clicking and cream will begin to rise up to the top.
About Gbinije, I do expect JB will encourage him to shoot more because he is certainly capable of scoring more when he is zoned in on scoring. However, he is the type of player that would give up a good shot for a better one, maybe its the former quarterback in him. I said it before and will continue to say it because I believe it will happen; there will be games this year when he will lead the team in scoring because he will be required to score more, especially on some big games. He is at his best when he has to.
