It's a good summary, SWC, enjoyed it. I watched the game, and reviewed it on the dvr. I think you were dead on about most things. But MG does bring value to the team. Basically, he's a swiss army knife. He can play 3 positions and adds desperately-needed depth ... especially at the point and SF, where we have a freshman (who looked great last night) and TR who played very tentatively. Gbinije is not a volume scorer or outside assassin, but at least he can come in and hit the open shot and run the team.

Where's he's really valuable is on defense. He has an impressive vertical and good footwork. Why is this valuable -- well when Roberson was repeatedly out of position and got yanked, MG came in and cleaned it up. When KJ needed a break, MG came in and played well --  6 points and 1 TO in probably 13 or 14 minutes playing guard. That's value. You're not going to have a Dion every year to bring NBA-level offense off the bench. So absent spectacular at one skill (or position), I'll settle for reliable and (nearly) mistake-free at three - that was MG last night.

Mr. Swiss Army also tied CM for a team-high 6 rebounds ... which is more than can be said for our center.
