Alpha, we'll have to agree to disagree.  In my opinion, Gbinije was more assertive and more confident toward the end of the season.  It may not have shown up in the box score, but to my eyes, if you watched him play in November and December, he almost refused to look at the basket when he had the ball on offense.  By the end of the year, as Cooney was dying out there, Gbinije tried to do more and actually tried to make plays on the offensive end of the floor.

As for Christmas, once we lost Coleman, Christmas knew he was going to get minutes and I think he played more confidently and committed fewer fouls per minute.  He didn't get in terrible foul trouble for most of the 2nd half of the season,  As when Baye twisted his knee and Grant's back was bothering him, Christmas still did a nice job clearing the defensive boards and providing presence as a rim protector without fouling out of every game.

I think they both made strides last year and both will be more consistent and assertive this year.
