ESPN Insider article by Seth Greenberg (former Virginia Tech head coach)
7. Michael Gbinije, Syracuse Orange
Transferred from: Duke Blue Devils
Gbinije has the potential to develop into an excellent player in Jim Boeheim's system. I put little stock in his stats during his freshman season at Duke. Gbinije used his redshirt season to develop into a versatile offensive player who can play any of the perimeter positions for the Orange. He can shoot the ball to the 3-point line, he has a middle game, and he is an excellent finisher in transition.
At 6-foot-6, he has the size Boeheim likes at the top of his 2-3 zone defense. Gbinije will challenge Trevor Cooney for the starting shooting guard job and will add depth to the small forward position.

By the way, Seth Greenberg should be somewhat familiar with Gbinije, as Virginia Tech offered him during his recruitment while Greenberg was there (and, of course, also from Gbinije's year at Duke).
