He's shooting 27.3 percent (9-of-33) from the field. Of course, three games don't make a season, but after five games last season, his numbers were 16.4 points, 45.2 percent shooting, 4.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists.</p> </p> This season was supposed to see Hughes grow more comfortable with the point guard role he assumed in the final third of last season. Hughes worked over the summer with former Cavs guard Mark Price. Either Hughes is having a slow start, or the price on Price was not right.</p> </p> "It's about finding a rhythm," said Hughes, who was 3-of-9 for six points against the Suns. "I'm not real fond of playing the [point guard] the whole time and that has a little to do with it. But I guess I have to find a way to figure things out." -- <font color="#000000">Cleveland Plain Dealer</font></p></div></div>
I'm appalled with the way he's been playing so far this season, but I'm not gonna give the usual talk of how he is overpaid, since hindsight is a wonderful thing. At the time, thousands of Cavs fans and I felt that it was a decent deal by Ferry. We can now say how it was a bad decision and that he should never be paid that much money. I for one, however, would have done the same in Ferry's shoes, so can't complain too much. Yes, Ferry is paid to make the right decisions, but many people who devote their lives to basketball felt the same way.</p> He will see only limited minutes tonight, as he has a leg contusion. How can I put this to the Coach? PLAY SHANNON BROWN. He's at least worth a shot.</p>
