Zach Lowe had a very nice article on CJ http://grantland.com/the-triangle/city-of-black-roses-the-bright-spot-in-portlands-dark-season/
This could happen only to Portland, the NBA’s unexplained karmic losers. For two years, the Blazers searched for a bench that wouldn’t give away leads their vicious starting five built up. They finally appear to have found one — right as injuries ripped apart that starting lineup, and with three-fifths of it headed into free agency during a summer that could define the franchise’s next half-decade... http://grantland.com/the-triangle/city-of-black-roses-the-bright-spot-in-portlands-dark-season/

He’s always running around, trying to get the ball."
Yep, CJ is very active, on both sides of the ball. And when he gets it, he's not hesitating. Most of the time, he makes the right move. CJ is the real deal, and he's still getting better.
I'm at work and can't post the link but it's a pretty good article on CJ. I'm the first to poast it bitchez
I think we're Karmic winners. Wes goes down, oH GOOD we got Afflalo in a trade last week. Afflalo goes down and the universe suddenly provides a future all star in an energized CJ McCollum. We've been very fortunate this season. Look on the bright side guys! Also, Lopez's injury delivered an improved Leonard to us. We are suddenly deep as hell and can still make a run at the championship this year.
I'll give it to you man. I don't know how you come up with these spin cycles but you should write fictional book. You have a great imagination
