Message: [QUOTE="Watchdog, post: 3491191, member: 10325"] Here's what Kansas.com has to say about Gilbert. Interesting analysis. I wonder what our knowledgeable posters think of what they're saying? Pretty high level interest and, if real, seems there's better options than WSU. How about Musselman at Arkansas or Crean at Georgia (I know he's a crazy man but my Indiana relatives all felt he did a good job there with player development)? Something doesn't seem right at WSU. Marshall has a great reputation but lost a lot of players two years ago, rebuilt with Stevenson and others, and now Stevenson and 6 others are leaving en mass.

The talent has always been there and Gilbert hopes a new environment will bring out the best in him for his final season. He can be an absolute electric playmaker, capable of breaking down defenders one-on-one or team defenses in the pick-and-roll game. He’s a point guard that needs the ball in his hands with the overwhelming majority of his shots coming off the dribble. That can lead to difficult shots, which explains his 34.6% shooting percentage, but Gilbert is a tough shot-maker. He’s a streaky shooter, but showed some consistency in conference play and drilled 36.5% of his threes in AAC games. But at just 6-foot, Gilbert struggles to finish inside and shot just 38.5% at the rim, per Synergy, this past season. Gilbert is a very skilled passer that routinely threads the needle, which led to a career-best 27.2% assist rate (sixth-best in AAC) and career-worst 23.0% turnover rate this past season. His quickness has translated to an above-average steal rate his entire career and Gilbert rated as an “Excellent” defender on Synergy this past season. Since UConn is leaving the American, Gilbert would be eligible to play immediately at WSU.Read more here: [URL]https://www.kansas.com/sports/college/wichita-state/article241391931.html#storylink=cpy[/URL] [/QUOTE]
