The bizarre career path of Gary Chivichyan

Since ISU three-point bomber Gary Chivichyan went 6 for 11 from distance in a win at Portland in December, his career path has followed a highly unique curve. As Bengal fans were voicing support for the true freshman to see more floor time based on his outburst vs the Pilots, the opposite occurred. GC's minutes were sparse and disconnected, and his shooting output reflected it. He went 1 for 17 from the floor in the following 8 games (with two DNPs in that stretch).

Then, just when Bengal fans were ready to write him off as a one-hit wonder destined for NAIA ball, not only does Bill Evans give him meaningful time vs Sac State, but he STARTS him. GC responds with 21 points on 7 of 17 shooting beyond the arc.

So where is this soap opera going from here? Tune in Saturday night to see if GC keeps his starting assignment -- or heads back to the far end of the bench.

My understanding of Gary not playing a few times was related to "attitude adjustments". I don't mean to spread rumors, just saying what I heard. One game I saw he wasn't even suited up, so I thought he was hurt. During warm ups I asked One of his team mates "hey what's up with Gary?" He said "He can't play today" I said "Is he hurt!?" He responded, "He just can't play today"....
I like Gary, I enjoy watching his jump shot from 3 point with his flailing legs. It's awesome!
As a freshman, I don't expect him to get TOO much playing time, but I'm glad when he is in, especially as Skippy mentioned, after the Portland Pilots game.
I kinda attribute his start yesterday at Sacramento to the fact that Ali Faruq-bey must be injured still from falling on his shoulder in the North Dakota game. Anyone know?
 
Well, Jeepers guys...if you'd have listened to the Sac State game you'd have known why Gary started...exactly because Ali wasn't ready to go yet. ;)

SORRY Jerry. Lol.. I watched the game.(every away game we run the laptop to the big screen and watch on TV)... So I missed your clarification.
I PROMISE to have your pregame on tonight before the video starts. :D

What is the etymology of the word "jeepers?" :D
 
His career path will follow his 3 pt shooting ability...so far, very average (32% overall, 30% in conference), he hasn't shown any particular fondness for defense or sharing the ball....

I agree. He seems to be stuck in the mentality that he is here to shoot and only shoot. When he is shooting 6-7 in a half from the 3, awesome, leave him on the floor. But he has been very hot and cold. Streaky is fine to point though, he's young. Good shooter for a freshman. Let's see what happens next week with Weber St. (Ali Faruq-bey will start again in place of Gary)
