GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com)
- Sophomore Greg Mays (Chicago,
Ill.) was inserted in the starting lineup for Green Bay on Dec. 15, and in the
eight games since the 6-foot-9 forward has really taken advantage of his
opportunity. With a dunk-first, aggressive mentality, Mays has used his
athleticism to add a new dimension to the Phoenix.
In the eight games, Mays is averaging 9.1 points and 5.5
rebounds per game. On the strength of 12 dunks, Mays is shooting an impressive
61.7 percent from the field. On Jan. 5 against Detroit, Mays scored a
career-high 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds, making 8-of-9 shots that
included five dunks.
Mays
will hope to continue his strong play this week as Green Bay hosts Youngstown State
(Thursday, 7 p.m.) and Cleveland State (Saturday, 1 p.m.).
