BG's portion of the Media Day festivities started with the moderator asking him what he has seen so far in preseason that he likes. He said it has only been a week but the players all are very coach-able and all seem very excited by the prospects of a successful season. He also added that almost all of the returning players will have new roles for which they will need to adjust.

He was then asked his thoughts about being picked 3rd by the media and about CW being picked to the second team. BG said that rankings at this time of the year are interesting but he said overall it speaks to the depth and quality of the league featuring a lot of returning players. As far as getting three 1st place votes, he said he wasn't aware that they had allowed spouses and parents to vote this year. As far as CW being voted to the second team, he said for someone that only played 6 minutes total in conference play last year it is a sign of the respect the league has for him and is a true tribute to his abilities. BG was asked a follow up question about whether or not CW was 100% healthy. BG said he is asked that question alot and stressed that CW was 100% when he came back in the NIT last season. The only reason why CW was limited to less that 20 minutes in each of those games was because of conditioning concerns from not playing for so long and not a limitation because of concerns about his foot.

The last question was about replacing the scoring and leadership that Brian Roberts provided last season. First of all he said, they cant replace BR's scoring and it will have to be a collective effort to do so. BR was the foundation last year but this is a new team, a different team that will have to do different things to be successful. He said it is not possible to plug someone into BR's role so they will have to adapt. Secondly, as far as the leadership is concerned, he stressed that along with BR's leadership, they also will have to replace the leadership of Jimmie Binnie and Andres Sandoval. Last year's team would not have won 23 games without JB and AS and all players, new and old, need to take a step up to help out.

With that last answer, his 8 minutes were up.
