Can't stress enough....

That we need to incorporate Gift in the rotation as the 9th man. At the very least for 5 to 10 mins a game.  This will allow our big men to have fresh legs at the end of the game as well as allow Sanchez and Sampson to play more time a few feet from the basket where I think they play the best. It will also trickle down and allow our guys to play more aggressive on defense.

Gift has the same basketball instincts as a park bench. But he hustles his ass off and goes hard for offensive rebounds so I root really hard for him.

Will probably be President of Nigeria or a corporate success one day, but a marginal BBall player. Five to seven minutes a game tops!

 Unless a big is injured, I would expect that number will decrease in BE play. Just my opinion.

I agree with that .

We have some really good players. More quality depth then at any time I have been a fan. We also have some players that belong no where near a big east roster. Don't understand why some of you guys want to play less skilled guys. I say play gift 5 minutes. NEVER play Marco , Max, or Felix . They do some things well, but their deficiencies are to great.

To be fair, jury is still out on Felix, as he's still young and athletically, he's a freak, so his ceiling is still high until he's given an opportunity to prove otherwise.  GG is a solid back up, but no more than that, IMO.

May be a freak. But if he plays someone has to sit. Why should we sit a good basketball player for a good athlete. Not like our good players are bad athletes. Not trying to talk bad about anyone.
