How's BG playing for you guys these days? I used to like watching him play when he was on the Bulls.Does he still knock down clutch shots in the 4th? I'm not being sarcastic I really want to know how he's been playing for you guys.Is he living up to his contract? Is he still 4th Quarter Gorden!!!!
That's not a fair question... Det has the WORST coach I've ever seen. Q couldn't coach an oversized elementary school team. Gordon has been given a mere 20 minutes per game. The second he starts hitting a few shots, he gets pulled. When given a decent number of minutes, Gordon puts up BIG numbers and can rebound the ball suprisingly well for someone his size. The problem has been that Gordon doesn't get much PT in the 4th because Rip is on the court. Det is constantly saying that Rip needs to be moved but the actions indicate that the commitment is with Rip!!!
IMO, Gordon can and will light it up when someone makes a commitment to him but with 5 guards on the team, someone has to go. It isn't going to be Stuck or T-Mac, so that leaves Rip, BG, and Bynum!!! BG is only 27 and has one of the best shots in the league and shoots at a VERY high percentage when given the minutes. Who wouldn't want that kind of upside?
