Michael Gbinije gives Syracuse a versatile two-way spark
In the 2015-16 season, Gbinije was Syracuse’s do-it-all connector, averaging 17.5 points, 4.3 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game while shooting 46% from the field and 39% from three. The 6-6 G/F’s value went beyond the box score: he could initiate offense, defend multiple spots and create pressure with length and activity. He’s the kind of player who fits a balanced roster because he can score without being ball-dominant and brings real defensive playmaking.
