Obviously we need this kid and hopefully that will happen this wknd. That being said I still think Gaines will give us a lot on the defensive side of the ball by changing shots. I really like the thought of Gaines, Gates, JJ and Achiwa(sp?) I think we win the rebound battle most nights which will give UC extra possessions. I think this addition will make us matchup well most nights in the BEAST..
hopefully gaines can be a presence. from what i have heard, i think everyone here needs to temper their expectations of him. he is a huge project player.
