Now that’s impressive – perhaps even “history” worthy. 30-10 games are achieved only by a handful of players around the league, and as the tweet by Wofford would suggest, it is rarely ever done by a player coming off the bench.
On a night when starting point guard Stephen Curry had trouble finding his range – he shot just six-of-17 overall – Jack came in and shot 11-of-22 from the field for 30 points and dished out 10 assists, while committing just one turnover. When it mattered the most, Jack hit all the big shots down the stretch – be it a game-turning 3-pointer, or isolation jumpers in the face of Tony Parker and Tim Duncan.
His monster performance on the national stage certainly opened up plenty of casual eyes, but Jack has been providing this type of steady leadership and clutch play for much of the season, especially when the game is on the line. For those reasons, the team’s sideline reporter and NBA insider Ric Bucher, along with long-time beat writer Matt Steinmetz can strongly vouch for Jack as a strong Sixth Man of the Year candidate. As an avid watcher of the Warriors, so can I.
