This says it all, imho:

Gbinije said Saturday he needs to "change my mindset" about sharing the offensive load as the Orange moves forward in ACC play.
"Lately in practice, I've been more aggressive and I've been looking for my own shot at times," Gbinije said. "It's something that's going to come.

SilentG again looked hesitant in the offense yesterday. He needs to become more confident on the offensive end for us to get better by late Feb, March, and into April.

Cheers,
Neil

There are so many times when he is in the game that I say he needs to look to be a threat. I know he gets after it on D and really focuses on that, but offensively he has to look to score. He attacks the offensive boards at times, but that's really about it while the game is close. He has length and a good handle to get to the hoop, and his shot isn't bad at all. Hopefully he starts to get get more comfortable and looks to creat some offense, there are times when they are going to need someone to step up offensively.

Gbinje could score with the best of them in HS. For this team to play at it's peak, it will need another guard who can be counted on to score. Yesterday was a day that Gbinje really could have come in and been a threat.

on the bright side, it is so much better having talented players learning to be more aggressive than it was getting players with limited talent to realize they should dial it back (yes I am looking at you McCroskey and Wright et al)

I almost think a more aggressive Silent G with CJ on the wings with Shaky Potatoes and Voodo up top might be our best zone option...
