    CJ said in an interview that he's trying to add the floater to his game..work in progress...his court vision seems to fade when he gets in amongst the trees sometimes. Sadly, I watched Ginobli against the Cavs last night and he could not finish any of his circus shot layups or drives...he's just not explosive anymore. CJ could improve that aspect of his game. I'm just happy his assist numbers are up from before

    The floater is way overrated. I think it has a higher degree of difficulty than a pull-up jumper at the free throw line, or whatever short-range shot you can get in the seam. (which CJ is great at) The sheep mentality has made the floater a go-to shot because a few guys (Parker) can actually make it. I'd rather see the Oscar Robertson, Nate Archibald, etc. concept of starting to drive, get the guy off-balance, make the jumper inside the free throw line. CJ could make a living at that.
