I read that later. That would have been a great test, but will have to wait. Jrue/Eric/Ish and Nate will have to do. Ish had a good game last night. If we really struggle against an even shorter backcourt than we have then that would not be good.
I posted this and he goes off for 37 in his first game. LOL. His lowest scoring game this year is 15 (he's done it twice). I think the most impressive part of his early run has been the consistency. With Batum you never knew if he was going to give you 6 or 16. Even Wes, who was never really criticized that much for inconsistency, would give you 10 points one night and 25 the next, depending on how teams played him. He couldn't create his own shot so he was always dependent on opportunistic scoring. Aldridge had two of his first 15 games last year where he scored 9 points and 12 points. CJ shows up and there's 15 points guaranteed. The only real question is if he's going to outscore Lillard that night. So yeah, he's a little better than Juan Dixon so far..
CJ has really impressed me so far. He's got this herky jerky stepback J that reminds me of BRoy. Sent from my Baller-Ass 5.5" iPhone 6+......... FAMS
How many players have we had that are compared to Roy? First it was Bayless, then Batum, Dame of course, last year Nic compared Crabbe to Roy, now CJ? I lose track. Who's next; is Harkless Roy? Can Pat be a white Roy?
Are you kidding me?? Plumlee of course! watch him take the ball full court! Honestly I think Roy will always be a what if in my book. Absolutely showed signs of possibly becoming a superstar, but since know one knows, I think its assumed by too many that he would have been. I think his era was short and sweet, but over rated.
Why would somebody compare those other players to Brandon? Of all those named, the only one whose dribbling style and the way he attacks the rim that is somewhat similar to Roy would be CJ. The others are completely different. B has 3 inches and 20 lbs on Mccollum, but they play somewhat the same.
