Many Braunschweig fans were hoping with a happy continuation with 24 year old American Jason Cain (208-F-85, college: Virginia) and got the good news today as the New York Phantoms Braunschweig kept the 209cm center on board for another season This will be Cain's third season in Braunschweig as he came in the 2007-2008 season. The development of Cain has been fantastic as he only had a temporary contract in September 2007 to replace the injured Peter Fehse (210-C/F-83), but he impressed management and recieved a contract until the end of the season. He finished the season averaging in 31 games: 5.8ppg, 4.3rpg, 1.2spg, 2FGP: 62.3%, 3PT: 25.0%, FT: 58.4%.
Last season, he improved his stats averaging in 32 games: 7.5ppg, 4.7rpg, FGP: 58.4%, FT: 59.3%. He mostly came from the bench, giving energy under the boards. He scored in double figures six times and had one double double against The Deutsche Bank Skyliners making ten points and 12 rebounds in a heart breaking 55-53 loss. Cain has a lot of potential and it seems like Braunschweig have a lot of confidence in the youngster and want to have a known face in the lineup. 'He is a fighter that always gives 100% and plays with a lot of emotions. We hope he can continue to make a further step with us', said Braunschweig sports director Oliver Braun .
