Other than his involvement with the 2015-2016 Syracuse team and his time as a player on the NBA G League’s Grand Rapids Drive, I didn’t know much else about Michael Gbinije when the Santa Cruz Warriors announced him as part of their roster.
Drafted 49th overall by the Detroit Pistons in 2016, he appeared in nine games on per game averages of 0.4 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.2 assists in 3.5 minutes. While on assignment with the Drive, he averaged 12.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.9 steals in 35.0 minutes per game.
