Justin James: Goes for 25 points off bench
James delivered 25 points (10-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), a rebound, three assist and a steal across 28 minutes off the bench in Saturday's win over Santa Cruz.
James led all bench players in minutes, points and assists, and he made a major impact in the box score. He was also extremely efficient from the field, missing just three of his 13 shots in an outing that couldn't have gone much better, considering this was just his second game with the Charge.

Justin James: Bad shooting off bench
James logged 15 points (4-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 109-105 loss to the Long Island Nets.
The Cleveland Charge started RJ Nembhard and Wes Iwundu instead of James. Despite averaging 22.3 points across six G League games this year, the backup logged that tally on an unimpressive 39.8 field goal percentage. James must improve his shooting to be considered a reliable starter again.

James logged 27 points (11-26 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, two steals and one assist across 31 minutes during Friday's loss to the Capital City Go-Go.
James' 27 points were a team best. Despite not being re-signed by the Pelicans -- his previous NBA team -- or any other NBA franchise, he will remain valuable to an uninspired Charge group needing some consistent scoring. James has averaged 18.4 points across his last 15 G League games.
