    Dang, this forum kinda obsesses over fringe players. Gabriel is an end of the bench or in street clothes on this team

    Was waiting to bump this thread when Gabriel scored his first point this season.

    Still waiting.

    Well done. I saw this bumped and thought to myself oh, I bet Wenyen put up like 8 and 4 last night and someone is going to bitch about us letting him go.

    Presumably we ditched Wenyen because we were signing Harry Giles.
    On the season:
    Giles III: -67
    Gabriel: +7

    To be fair... I don't think Wenyen could play center.

    I see harry getting better & better. He's still getting his confidence back and he's finally getting consistent minutes. The light will eventually go on for him.

    Well,,,,,,,Right now, so far, Melo is a vital contributor.

    Your comparison clearly shows Giles as a favored player for Stotts If no minutes, then no block of stats.

    Don't you wish we had a frontcourt like New Orleans and didn't have to give minutes to players like Giles?

    I liked Gabriel, only because he was fearless under the hoop. It's like a kitten or a puppy. Aw, isn't that cute. He was a new toy to examine and then get tired of, a novelty.

    Gabriel appeared 2 years away from being 1 year away, while Meyers Leonard always appeared 2 years away from being 5 years away.

    Just stop it about Gabriel. The best G-Leaguers are far more polished. Why don't you start threads about our other 15th men of recent years?

    I still haven't forgotten him, nor have I forgotten that little French girlfriend I had in 1997! However it seems New Orleans has forgotten him. He only gets an average of three minutes a game; behind Steven Adams, Jaxson Hayes, Zion and Hernangomez. Looks as if he made a bad choice going there.

    He had a choice? It must have been the G-League, since Europe doesn't waste money on American long-term projects.

    Also, he was injured for part of this season.

    Hell, this season *alone* G3 has almost scored as many points, blocks, as WG has in his career, has more rebounds, twice the # of blocks, more FG's this year than Wenyen has for his *career*...

    The team didn't miss out on Wenyen. Especially considering you compared his usability to that of Melos.

    I love your dogged insistence that the only things of value that a player does on the court are measurable in points, blocks and rebounds.
