Michael Gbinije Commit of the Day Duke-Bound Meet Me @ The Rim Blog 3/11/10

[hoofreak7]

Having seen him play a number of times, he is unbelievably overrated. He's a perfect example of someone's ranking being bumped up due to a Duke (or Unc, UK, KU, etc) commitment. His teammate, Richmond bound Trey Davis, is a far superior prospect, but you won't see him in any rankings. Every time I see Mike play, I see a lazy, unskilled, slow, poor shooting SF. He's a decent player, don't get me wrong; but even as a UVA fan, I thought our scholarship offer to him would've been put to better use.

kid is smooth. just wait and see.

@pbkic46 You have no clue. Quit watchin videos and watch a game or 3. Then you can make a judgement.

[jojozbludevilz]

@pbkic46 Thats funny as hell that you say that after watching one extremely short "highlight" video. You might wanna actually watch him play first. Dude has game, no doubt about it. Top 20 in his class. Thats pretty damn good.

@pbkic46

After reading your comments I've come to two very clear conclusions.

1. You're a douche.

2. You're a huge douche that doesn't know basketball from your ass.

That beat is cazy. GO DUKE!!!

[DukeRisner]

@Kasino617 they only showed a couple clips, watch more!

[Kasino617]

@DukeRisner No doubt how tall is he like 6'6

[DukeRisner]

@Kasino617 id say so give or take an inch, most likely take

[IMStr8throwed]

this guy's a 5 star? i'm not impressed

[jojozbludevilz]

@IMStr8throwed Watch an actual game and not a short as highlight video you idiot. Why do people judge a player by his highlight video?

[IMStr8throwed]

@jojozbludevilz Some videos you can already tell...and i've seen all i've needed to see from his highlight videos which haven't shown me anything. I don't know how he's a 5 star, maybe we'll find out when the season starts. Were you impressed by this video or any other video with this kid? I hope he has a great IQ and makes smart plays, because potential wise he's limited with that lack of athleticism.

[MrKnickslover]

@IMStr8throwed  he's not a 5 star... he's a 4 star now

[kkkknights]

pbkic46, your right he is nothing special scoring wise, but he's very smart basketball iq wise and i think he'll be very good playin a 7th man or 8th man off the bench

[tvg2345]

I couldn't give you an assessment to be honest with you. I only went to this one game and he was off. I hear he is really known for his shooting

Dukeeeeeeee
