Some players thrive coming off the bench to give their team instant offense. Think back to high-energy guard Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson, who helped the Detroit Pistons win NBA titles in 1989 and 1990, for instance.
In the bj-league, Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix guard Wayne Arnold has a similar role.
In November, when the Phoenix went 8-0, Arnold averaged 19.3 points per game, including a 35-point outburst on Nov. 20 against the Kyoto Hannaryz.
