Well, basketball is over in the Olympics. How did Michael Gbinije do in his first go-round?

After winning AfroBasket in 2015, Nigeria snagged an Olympic bid to qualify for the 2016 Rio Olympics games. Nobody expected Nigeria to qualify for the Olympics much in the same way that nobody believed Syracuse could make a post-season run in the NCAA Tournament this year. Just making the Olympics was a win for Nigeria. Did somebody say gravy?

Anyway, with the 2016 Olympic basketball games in the rearview, how did Syracuse alumnus (yes he's an alumnus now) Michael Gbinije fare?
