I wouldn't mind if Gbinije looses the ball twice a game because at the same time hes going to be the guy to score 16 plus ppg. Its the other guys who got to value the ball and put the pass on target.

I know its 30 feet from the basket but that is where Gbinije plays.
Who else are they going to double?
I guess they can double nobody but if that's the case, then I am all for Gbinije forcing their hand shooting 23 shots instead of 14 on those kind of days. Hes good enough to heat up. He starts hitting three pointers 2 for 3 in a 5 minute stretch or or 3 for 5 in a 10-12 minute stretch, even 4 for 8 in 18 minutes they will think twice about not doubling him.  Of course that depends on him shooting as well off the dribble as spotting up against some of the better defenses. They can put a shorter harassing guy on him but let him play off guard on those possessions, then he won't have to worry about 5-6 dribbles instead 1-2 going into his pullup.

Only other guy I would predict maybe forcing a double early on off a few dribbles is Joseph if he starts hitting alot of jumpers in the high/mid post.

Any other doubles will come from aggressive defense but will not be forced, like rak did last year.
