Could gibson develop into an arenas type player? He looks like a major steal and his smirk makes me laugh all the time..Now obviously gilbert has a huge work ethic and superb skills but could gibson be the young star we've tryed to get for ages.

Arenas...not quite. The differences are that he is not as explosive a scorer and actually takes pride in playing defense. I actually see him get a defensive team selection somewhere down the road.

Eventually averaging something like 16-18ppg over the course of a season is very possible, but not more, especially if he becomes a permanent tool for the Cavs playing alongside Lebron.

I think he could become as good as his idol Chauncy Billups. Though the guy he really reminds me of, is like a smaller thinner Kenny the Jet Smith.

Or BJ Armstrong with TJ Ford's athleticism.

I think Gibson can be a really good backup PG, with the potential to develop into a good starter. But Arenas is a BIG step up...

My problem is that if he has a bad game, you'll be running him out of town immediately.

I have a weird feeling that Shaq Diesel is slowly turning into a Cavs fan... Are you seeing the light?



If not (which I don't believe), you're spending an awful lot of time on these boards...

I live in Ohio, so I've grown up seeing the Cavs. No, I don't like them, and I'm rooting for Detroit, but if I can talk "intelligently" about any team besides the Heat, it's probably Cleveland. Plus it's funny to see what my idiot roomates are saying about their precious Cavs.

The OUTLAW

Cavs fans have been seeing good things in Gibson all year. I have no idea why you'd think we'd run him out of town. That being said, I don't think he's an Arenas type. I don't think he'll ever be that kind of scorer.

Sorry - I wasn't trying to make Gibson sound like a "new" talent. He's been pretty effective all year (especially for a 2nd rd pick).

But if I know one thing about this forum, and Cavs fans that I personally know: The highs are really high, and the lows are really low. Just my own opinion from what I've seen.

I don't think it's just Cavs fans. Cleveland fans in general. The lows have been expected for a while. Hopefully this could be a playoff run that can change that.

I see more of a Jason Terry type of path for him (maybe slightly worse offense but better defense). He's got the same type of body and type of game (aggresive scoring PG with decent decision making while not being the playmaker in terms getting large amount of assists)
