Sundiata Gaines killing it in the NBA Development League

DaugMan found this (ht - begger). Apparently, Sundiata Gaines is obliterating the NBA Development League for the Idaho Stampede. He's currently averaging 27.0 points, 8.3 assists per and 4.3 rebounds per game for his 3-1 team. That's right...he's creating over 43.4 points per game. It's not just the quantity of points....he's going for over 60% from the field, almost 70% from FT line and 45% from the 3 point line.

According to this AJC article from July, Gaines played in Italy last year:
He carried that success to Italy, where he played for NGC Cantu. In 30 games, he averaged 31.9 minutes, 13.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 steals. His game-high was a 25-point performance. He played so well, in fact, that if he returns to Italy for another season, it won’t be with Cantu, which can’t afford him now.

“They already signed another player, but they were sure they weren’t going to be able to give me a contract of what my status was compared to what other teams were offering,” Gaines said.
If you're a Dawg living in Boise, Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Reno or Austin, he's coming to visit soon. Drop by and yell Go Dawgs. I'd wager you could get in for next to nothing. Hopefully, this success leads to a call up to the league.
