When was the last time SU had a returning player who had these types of averages in conference play year before:

[U]Michael Gbinije (18 conf games):[/U][B]  14.8 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 4.0 apg, 2.1 spg[/B]

Some recent names that come close:

CJ Fair in 2012-13 had 15.8 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 0.9 apg, 1.4 bpg in conf play (18 games)

Kris Joseph in 2010-11 had 14.4 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 2.3 apg, 1.7 spg in conf play (17 games)

J. Flynn in 2007-08 (full year stats - 35 games) had 15.7 ppg, 5.3 apg, 2.7 rpg, 1.5 spg

Devo in 2006-07 (full year stats - 35 games) had 14.8 ppg, 4.1 apg, 2.7 rpg, 1.2 spg

Really gives you some perspective on how big it is to be getting Gbinije back for next year.  Just a really good all around player, with high averages in points, rebounds, assists and steals.  (I needed some hope after the McCullough news haha.)

In fact, a look at Gbinije's game log reveals just a super 6 game stretch towards end of season, where he was simply on fire.  Over the 6 game span in which we played (a few damn good teams too):

UNC (Sweet 16 team),
V. Tech,
Pitt,
BC,
Duke (at least Final 4 team), and
Louisville (Elite 8 team),

Gbinije averaged [I][B]20.5 ppg, 4.8 apg, 4.7 rpg, 2.5 spg, 1.8 tpg with 589% FG & 514% 3PT averages![/B]

Really looking forward to seeing if Gbinije can play close to those 6 game numbers more consistently next year.  That may be too much to ask, though, as those are some outstanding numbers.
