He played in 32 games this year, averaged 14 and a half points, and seven
assists a contest.
But he was also suspended for bumping a referee and he spent a lot of time
discussing his younger teammates lack of discipline and desire.

league's top sixth man.
This award is given annually to the player who comes off the bench on a
