That's all.
Gibbs hit a couple a big shots tonite. His steadiness and outside shot is still extremely important to this teamThat's all.
This. We get he shouldn't be running the point, but without his shooting they don't come back and make it close I think he finished 3/5 from deep. Benching him would be stupid.I said it after the Maryland game and my mind hasn't changed since. Jalen at the 1, Gibbs and purvis split time at shooting guard. You don't need to bench Gibbs, but he hasn't looked like a PG at all this year. Nobody except JA should be initiating this offense.
He also gave up a wide open 3, a lay-up and fouled one of their best free throw shooter 90 feet away from the basket. Also, when he's playing point he can't create any offense and is slow to even get a set play started.This.

Did I say I support him playing the point? (Hint: Answer is.....No) All I said is if he is playing the 2 his shooting is still a valuable asset to this team, I didn't mention his poor defense etc, but benching him is not the answer if you think it is smh.He also gave up a wide open 3, a lay-up and fouled one of their best free throw shooter 90 feet away from the basket.

I'd love to see a stat if it were available for how many times his player scores or breaks him down to create a wide open shot for some else.

I don't think anyone said kick him off the team (then again I wouldn't be surprised if someone said that in this cesspool). It's just so incredibly important that this team gets off to a fast start so we aren't chasing like yesterday and many other times this season. Jalen provides more of an ability to bring energy from the tip than Gibbs.Gibbs hit a couple a big shots tonite. His steadiness and outside shot is still extremely important to this team
We're not a mentally talented team. Hamilton is 2nd in rebounding and 2nd in assists in the league. When you bench him you just put in another guy who also makes mistakes while not being as good at those things as Hamilton.Its not the benching in as much as the in game corrections. The errors these guys 'are allowed' to make is excessive. Gibbs and DHam should be immediately corrected even if benched 10 times a half until they get the message.
Not sure the patting on the butt works with some of these players.
He shot poorly (missed a layup I believe) but didn't turn it over and kill the offense. He realized his shot wasn't going in and stopped shooting. Either that's indicative of a good shooter, or KO's leash pulled him to the bench. I'll go with the first.Adams deserves to play point. But, speaking of slow starts, did any of you notice his performance in the first half?
