[QUOTE="RIVERCITYCHIEF, post: 1528549, member: 677672"] GB has proven he can score and play well. He is still just as good on offense and likely better on defense amd rebounding. He is just in a slump and he is sharing his role with Kofi now. GB is in a bit of a funk but you can not give up on him. I do not know of any area of the game that Tev is better that GB other than maybe FTs. Tev is 4-24 from the field and 3-16 from three. GB is 11-36 from three and 76 for 181 from the field. GB is out shooting Tev on the year. Unfortunately Tev may have had more time to learn and get better in games that didnt mean so much if he had not gotten himself suspended twice and that is no ones fault but his own! He let himself and the team down a second time. I think it should be GB be playing but if someone has an argument if would be for going small with AG starting at the 4 or Kipper. They are both options more productive than Tev. He has work to do. I think GB has earned our trust and support while he works his way through this funk. I still like him with his back to the basket taking shots and have faith he will get back to shooting at a high percentage like hie has in the past. I am glad BU is not quitting on a proven player like GB You are correct that we really need a more physical type of 4 that can shoot the ball and we really do not have anyone over 6'7'' that can do that with BBV hurt so BBU is trying to play with line ups and find out what can work until next season where things should look a bit differetnt [/QUOTE]
