    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">When seen for the final time this past April, C.J. Miles looked like an NBA regular.
    It was the last game of the 2005-06 season, the Jazz were playing Golden State, little was at stake for two non-playoff teams and Miles' line read an impressive 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting from the field, six rebounds, four assists and two blocks.
    "It was just a big confidence-boost, going from not playing as much to . . . having a game like that in front of our crowd at home," said Miles, a 2005 second-round draft choice who was used rather infrequently during his rookie season out of Skyline High School in Dallas. In space-age terms, the lift as he left for the offseason had Miles headed for the moon.
    But was it the real deal?
    The 19-year-old Jazz shooting guard, playing this month in his second Rocky Mountain Revue summer league, wants fans to believe it was.
    "I do have to show it wasn't just a fluke just because it was the last game," he said. "I don't want them to think, 'Oh, the other team wasn't playing hard; that's why he got it.' "
    It's not just spectators, though, whom Miles is out to win over.</div>

    I'm really happy to see the way C.J.'s been playing in summer league, I hope he can have a bigger impact on the Jazz this year...
