Bobcats To Sign Boykins
Posted by Stephen Rhodes under Main
It appears that the Charlotte Bobcats have addressed a pressing need - a backup point guard - by reaching a contract agreement with free agent guard Earl Boykins, according to ESPN on Thursday. Because the Bobcats haven’t been able to rest starting point guard Raymond Felton as much as they’d like, the Boykins signing will make this possible.
Boykins, prior to the signing by the Bobcats, had been working out on his own all season and had been looking for a team to sign with since last summer, when he opted out of the fiinal year of his contract with the Milwaukee Bucks; Boykins averaged 14.0 PPG and 4.5 APG while with the Bucks, following a trade from the Denver Nuggets. Boykins, for his career, is averaging 9.8 PPG and 3.4 APG.
Stumble it!
