Two nights ago, there was a spectacle in the NBA G-Leagu as Chris Silva, the former South Carolina Gamecock, delivered a jaw-dropping performance against the Delaware Blue Coats. Silva, who has been making waves in the G-League since last Fall, notched another double-double, putting up an impressive 30 points and a career-high 20 rebounds.

Silva's journey from college basketball to the G-League has been marked by sheer determination and an unwavering work ethic. While at the University of South Carolina, he made a name for himself as a relentless forward, averaging 11.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.

Since transitioning to the professional stage, Silva has continued to elevate his game. His current stat line sits at 20.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, and three assists per game. Silva's performance on Wednesday night was a crucial factor in his team's overall success. His ability to dominate the game on both ends provided the necessary edge to secure the victory. If he can continue to play at this pace, Silva can finish this season strong and work his way back on to an NBA roster soon.
