The complaining about Trevor is kind of funny.  Yeah he stunk Saturday, but most people didn't think he would average 8 points a game this year.  Many people thought G would be starting and contributing a lot more than he did this year.  By most pre-season measures, Cooney blew his projections out of the water.  He improved a lot from last year.  Let's hope he improves a lot more next year.  That's what Syracuse players do.

Now back to Mike Gbinije who played decent Saturday.  I think its fair to say that he produced a lot less than what most fans expected.  I know he only played 15 minutes per game, but he still averaged only about 9 points per 40 minutes played on 38 percent shooting.  Yes he outplayed Trevor Saturday, but by at least my projections he had a dissapointing season.  He shot 38 percent from the field, and you can't blame that on three point shooting as less than half his shots taken were threes.

I think people burying cooney or mike are foolish.  We do this all the time with all of our players. (FAB, Rautins, Nichols, Scoop) to name a few.  And they always get better.  To suggest someone won't get better next year is a very stupid assumption.  I think you can complain about this year, but burying a player in the future makes no sense, and A LOT of people on this board do it year after year.
