Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2247364, member: 40"] I mentioned this during summer league -- caught parts of a Detroit game, Gbinije started, and hit the first basket of the game [a 3]. Handled the ball in transition, and Detroit got out to something like a 9-0 or 11-0 start. Looked solid / confident, which was good to see. Stepped away from the game for like an hour, and when I turned it back on they were neck and neck with the opponent, in OT. Gbinije got fouled to stop the clock, and went to the line. I was surprised to see that he only had 5 points at the end of the game [not good after scoring three on the first shot of the game]. Missed the first, made the second, and Detroit ended up eventually losing on a buzzer beater. Mentioned at the time that it was a disappointing stat line [he didn't shoot well]. Really too bad -- but it was a predictable move from Detroit to avoid the bulk of the guaranteed salary. Hope he latches on elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
