Message: [QUOTE="jekelish, post: 1220243, member: 82"] Regarding the 2 guard spot, the unfortunate truth is that we do have an adequate backup - Gbinije. He just can't ever play there, because he's also our backup PG and SF, and those are spots where we've got zero experience so he's needed to plug those holes. I'm a Cooney defender mainly because I hate seeing the way people tear a kid down so frequently, but there is one thing I like a lot better about Gbinije and that's the fact that, while he's not as good a shooter as Cooney, he actually looks to score in other ways. Cooney has basically, at this point, decided that if he can't score on a three or a breakaway dunk, he's not going to try to score. Gbinije is more than willing to shoot a pull up, midrange jumper or take it to the rack. I wish like hell Cooney would do that, it might get him some more space on the perimeter since it would show defenders he's not completely a one trick pony. [/QUOTE]
