    I don't see it happening under Stotts. They bring in Mo to play PG, either next to Lillard or Matthews. When Mo is in, he is almost always the PG. CJ has not shown any PG skills to this point. Therefore, he would have to take minutes from Lillard (while Mo is on the court) or Matthews. I think HCP is correct in thinking that he will take Barton/Crabbe minutes in the short term. If he tears it up in practice, or if there is an injury then he might get more time.

    I was just joking; if CJ is out there with Mo, he's just running laps cause he ain't gonna get any touches in the Moffense.

    Exactly my thought. And I don't want CJ emulating Mo, either.

    If CJ is cleared, then what do you want him to do? Realistically?

    True. I'm just not sure what to do with him or where to use him. I could see if Lillard was having a bad game and you needed instant offense, maybe putting him in with Mo.

    He will develop slowly. He is no Lillard. Maybe he'll help next season.

    I thin the way the reserves guards and swing men are playing, that probably makes the most sense

    Well, if Matthews goes down, you have Crabbe or Barton. If Lopez goes down, then you have Robinson?

    I would like to see Meyers in the DL, but I'm guessing the above is the reason he is not there.

    Some common perceptions:
    • Based on summer league C.J. can't play PG
    • Summer league doesn't mean anything
    • Mo Williams is a PG, he gets assists
    • Mo Williams dribbles until the clock is about to run out and jacks shit up
    • Mo Williams is a "vet"
    • C.J. "hasn't played an NBA game yet."


    Does dribbling around for 15 seconds and jacking up a shot take some sort of skill C.J. can't master? Do you need to be a vet to master this "skill."

    #Blazers CJ McCollum (foot) had CT scan this morning, will have it overnighted to Dr. Andrews in NC, I'm told. He won't know results today.

    What's with all these doctors stuck in the 20th century? Why can't they upload the image immediately?

    Why on Earth would the coaches want him emulating Mo Williams on the court?

    Because, according to several on here (including you, I think) Mo is a PG and C.J. isn't. Why wouldn't you want someone who (you think) can't play PG emulate someone who (you think) can?

    My actual points:
    Let's wait until C.J. has played for a while and actually sucks before we write him off (or call him our savior).
    Mo is not the long term solution to PG or any other position on our team.

    No shit. My daughter and I have had recent xrays, and my doctor had access to them before we left the lab. :dunno:

    I think neither or them is really a point guard.
