I give CJ props when he plays well. Problem is, on the road he sucked and he still has to bring his shot more than 1 out of 3 or 4 games. Preferably back to back games. He's got potential but like a lot of fans, we're burned out on potential.
You were ragging on him after 6 shots this season. I get that a lot of fans have no patience, but that is not the smartest way to evaluate a young player. Now I have no idea how he will end up, but I do know he (like most young players) will be inconsistent for a while. We just have to live with it for him to get better by the playoffs.
How are you gonna put a guy at the SF spot who dribbles worse than the starter whose dribbling we complain about?
I've been a fan since 1976..that's patience my friend. I'm amazed you actually counted his shots in ref to my posts though
So you have been a fan since the championship year? I was a die hard the 6 years before that. Now those years took patience! Anyways I did check to see how many shots CJ had taken when a few of you were bringing up his shooting stats after only 2-3 games. I was thinking at the time that he just needed to hit his next 4 shots to go from last to first on the team in shooting percentage. Meaning it was way to early. And still is.
Thanks KS. It was driving me crazy. I could visualize the different teams he played for....but not Maggette's name.
It's not that I want this permanent or anything. I just think it would be cool to see it for 2 games. Maybe even for a small amount of time.
No I get it. I like to see those different line ups once in a while. Even for 3-4 minutes during a game.

Claver is probably most similar to Batum and won't upset the rest of the rotation. The worst that can happen is he struggles early and gets swapped for wright.
While Aldridge does an adequate job when switching the P&R onto a guard from time to time... I'd be more worried about it if Aldridge defensively was matched up vs a 3 for lengthy periods of time. He might be able to get away with it vs the Hornets.. But I personally wouldn't want to see it consistently... Ever against a team with good shooters.
