Through 3 quarters-8 minutes, 0-1FG, 0 pts. 1 rebound.

JC ended up with just under 16 minutes PT, 4 pts., 2 boards.

I didn't get to see the game but did JC get many touches or was someone a black hole?

[Mr. Neutral]

The Suns had 2 guys w/22 pts. each and another w/19, so nobody really lit up or hogged the ball.

I only saw a little of the game, but the best thing you can say about Cage's performance is that he had the most PT (by 8 seconds) of any of the non-starters.

But 4 pts., 2 boards, and 0 assists/steals/blocks isn't going to get you noticed in an NBA summer game.

2 attemps is not getting many touches even if you play 15 minutes. actually 3 guys hogged the ball because they are the only three that got double digit tries and accounted for 44 of the 70 shots and their percentage was under the teams percentage for the game..

<<actually 3 guys hogged the ball because they are the only three that got double digit tries >>

Not really. In the 6 games played yesterday, the majority of the teams had at least 3 guys with double-digit shot attempts, and while the Suns had their 3 guys with between 13-16 shots, other teams had guys with as many as 20 shots.

A few teams had only 2 guys with double-digit shot attempts, but they were in the minority.

We all want Cage to do well, but he's got to know that 1-2 from the floor ain't gonna get it done, unless you're a Steve Nash-like PG, or rebounding like Moses Malone.
