Percy "Motown" Gibson
- Thread starter CYKOFAN
- Start date
White and Booker won't transfer since they already transferred in.
Ejim is growing really nice here.
Gibson will get his minutes as will Niang.
Are you forgetting about Clyburn too?
It seems like Fred can play the 6'7"ish forwards vs the old standard of a 7' center and two forwards.
He's definitely a wing, but in no way is he a small 3. He's 6'7". I think he could play the 4 in Fred's system, but he probably won't have to.
Plus one of the most important things we've learned this year with Fred's system.
Labeling players by position really matters none.
I didn't mean small height ways, I meant more small as in weight. He doesn't have the body of a post player. Should have clarified, my bad.
good point. every player really has a range of 2-3 spots they can play, gives us a huge advantage i think, helps us match up against many different teams.
I was talking more about playing time, not transferring. I definitely see Clyburn as a perimeter player.
If you get a chance go to cyclones.com if you belong and watch the post game interview with Gibson and Scotty. Gibson is as polished as a senior in how he handled the questions. Nice job mom!!
Really funny exchange between him and Hoiberg on scoring 1,000 and Fred says something about you need 963 more to catch up with me.:yes: Pretty sure that made the Register article.
Id say Motown is the best finisher on the team right now when he has it around the bucket, agree though that he needs to work on the right hand.
He's a lefty? Fair statement that 95% of us are going to shoot with the dominant hand.
I'll assume this is a positive post since he usually gets the ball in scoring position and is shooting 65 percent on the year. Maybe you're finally warming up to him a bit!
I think Royce and Ejim would break it.
Question would be perimeter defense. Sub in Clyburn for Booker and you have some pretty good mis-matches.
Ejim can't dribble and in fact can barely catch the ball. He would be the last guy you want trying to break the press.
I like the way Gibson looks to score and as long as he shoots such a great percentage, who can complain. But he's more than a scorer as he's quick on the boards and can also block shots. His all around game might be the best for a freshman big man since Homan, but he's farther along than Homan was as a freshman by quite a bit on offense. Sure he needs to work on his strength to hold his own inside, but he's got a big athletic body to work with, and plenty of time to develop into a very good big man. He's already pretty good.
You can't coach or teach a great touch around the basket....Gibson has a great touch. That's what's most impressive and encouraging with him.
