2017 NBA Manifesto
Michael Gbinije
SG/SF, 6’7, 200lbs, 25 years old, 1 year of experience
The 32 NBA minutes were unproductive and thoroughly uninsightful as a sample size, but the 12 D-League games are somewhat useful, and definitely worrying. The fact that he will be a role player as opposed to a focal offensive player no matter what league he plays in does not in itself explain a very mediocre performance with the Drive, in which he was largely a non-factor in the half-court offence. Now aged 25, with his one professional season to date being filled with injuries and struggles against what are supposed to be lesser players, Gbinije does not look like an NBA player.
Player Plan: Unguaranteed minimum salary until July 15th, then an actual team option for 2018/19. Not an NBA player. Will have to show an awful lot in summer league
