The Summer league is a good chance for guys like Daniel Gibson, Shannon Brown and Dwayne Jones to grow their games...and in the Vegas summer league opener, all 3 Cavaliers did in a 67-53 win over the Spurs...
Boobie ran the point and did a good job according to assistant coach, Melvin Hunt, who is running the bench for the Cavs in these games...and Mel admitted he was nervous early...why? Under his watch, wouldn't you know it, Daniel took an elbow to the face and needed stitches...can you imagine how his phone call to Mike Brown went..."good news coach, we won....bad news...Boobie took one to the face...sorry about that."
Daniel had 3 assists and no turnovers in a solid first quarter, but did not return after taking the elbow..Shannon Brown was aggressive defensively, and was in the attack mode with the ball much of the game, getting to the line 10 times...this is an area I personally saw growth the second half of the season in practice...getting to the rack with his athleticism...Shannon can do some freaky things when he gets off the floor...he finished this game with 18 points, including a corner 3 ball which he shot effortlessly.
6-10 forward, Darius Rice, the nephew of the NFL's greatest all time receiver, Jerry Rice had a 19 point game...Rice is hoping to get an invite to camp this fall...he can shoot it...Rice played at Miami (FL) and spent this past season in China.
More following game two against team China.
