Sam Casey: Jonathan Gibson

“While I don’t think any rookies will have a significant impact this season, I think Gibson has the best shot. Carlisle has shown his appreciation for small scoring guards (J.J. Barea) and Gibson fits that role well. He has the potential to be a spark plug off the bench and has shown that he can really light up the scoreboard.”
