This... Gio has a few weaknesses in his game that get exploited playing bigger minutes. I've thought that for a long time... but probably due to lack of depth, this is where he is now. Wideman would get exploited too if he were there... Put Gio back on the 2nd pairing and he'll be just fine, too bad there is nobody to take the top pairing role. (Butler?)
