Jonathan Gibson says he is ready to step forward into that role.

LAS CRUCES — Jonathan Gibson has never lacked for confidence on the basketball court.

But after the summer that he had, New Mexico State basketball fans should expect the 6-foot-2 junior guard to take another significant step in his young career.

Gibson spent the majority of the summer back home in California, working out with current Division I players, as well as matching up against NBA players during pick-up games on the UCLA campus.

"There were some big time players coming to college with a lot of hype so that helped with my confidence just playing and working out with them and playing with the pros," Gibson said. "I still played my game out there. It made my game easier and I realized what I need to do and work on..."
