Fan Blog: Player Profile - Daniel Gibson

This fan blog is dedicated to the five year Cavalier veteran Daniel 'Boobie' Gibson. Daniel Gibson was drafted by Cleveland with the 12th pick of the 2nd round in the 2006 NBA Draft. He struggled in his rookie season in the NBA until playoffs roled around. He was the key player in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pistons. He scored a career high 31 points, 19 of those in the fourth quarter, to seal the series win and send the Cavs to the NBA Finals. By his second season he had earned a consistent starting spot and many people considered him to possibly be the running mate Lebron James would need to win a championship. In his second year he averaged 10.4 points per game.

The Cavaliers acquired Mo Williams in 2009 which brought Daniel Gibson back to the bench. He has played from the bench pretty consistently every season since then. Last season he averaged a career high 11.6 points per game but his last 3 seasons have all been slowed down by injury. This season is no different. He is out for the season and just had surgery on his ankle. After becoming a fan favorite over his past 5 years wearing a Cavaliers uniform, there is much debate on whether this was his last. With potential star, Kyrie Irving taking over the minutes and a constantly beat-up Gibson, he is definitely a question mark going into the 2012-13 season.
