That's fair--your take really bothered me back then, because it was both off target and also seemed like a potshot when the team wasn't playing well.  Glad that Gillon is disproving that opinion, not just to us but to college basketball.  We need him to be a factor.

I think for Gillon to maximize his contributions, he has to be a scorer.  Early in the season, he was focused on trying to run the team at the expense of looking for his shot [still shaking my head about him revealing that he'd never run a structured offense before--hard to believe].

This kid's speed and ability to get into the lane are shaping up to be important factors in our half court offensive execution -- especially with the shooters we have.  When he's scoring, he's that much more dynamic, and our team offense thrives off of that type of play.

With our backs against the wall the way the season has unfolded, we can't tolerate any more performances like the Notre Dame game from Gillon.  He has to show consistency, and continue to be a weapon--both as a playmaker and as a scorer.
