    4.7 PPG
    37 FG%
    32 FG% from inside the three-point line
    12.3 MPG

    And these numbers are roughly the same as his rookie year numbers. Nate Wolters put up better numbers and he's on the verge of being waived.

    Package him fast before he's unmovable.

    He has definitely been underwhelming thus far.

    Well at least you are not bashing Batum. CJ doesn't even play enough to be horrible. There is just not enough of a sample size to make this kind of thread bashing the kid.

    Last year (in his second year) Leonard did:

    2.5 PPG
    45 FG%
    8.9 MPG
    9.4 PER

    People are determined to eat crow over and over again I suppose.

    If we can move him for a stud 6th man, do it. It's not like he is super young, he is like 23-24. What you see is largely what you'll get, volume scoring. I think he is more of a Bayless than an Ellis.

    I think he's going to Denver.

    I hate seeing that nerd face of his as well. The only time I get surprised is when he makes a shot. His fg % is even worse when you realize his shots are often uncontested.

    On 2 attempts.

    Meyers is pushing 7'2" and athletic. He was and is green and a few years away. CJ is a four-year player and polished.

    CJ has only shown flashes twice since being drafted: vs Minnesota | vs. San Antonio

    He's got no confidence in his shot lately, might be putting too much pressure on himself in the limited minutes. But as we saw with Leonard, it only takes one good game to get it going.

    you can't say he's Polished when he literally played college ball against guys from Navy and Lafayette and American.

    It's not like he played in the ACC or Pac-12 or something and played against NBA-caliber guys every couple of games. He has 60 games against NBA competition. He's 18 months into his career.

    I agree.

    CJ was doing so well before he got his broken hand. I think his shot is a little off, which takes a little time to get back. I have faith he will get his game back.

    We could get a third team involved maybe. Maybe wouldn't have to add a pick if we did something like:

    POR: Wilson Chandler

    NYK: JJ Hickson, Victor Claver

    DEN: Andrea Bargnani (11.5M expiring), Thomas Robinson and CJ McCollum

    Then we'd 2 open roster spots for Jerm and look at Ray Allen, Keith Bogans, Shannon Brown, Ronnie Brewer, Will Bynum, etc.

    NYK is tanking. They are giving up no expirings.

    12 minutes is a lot. You should be able to show something in that amount of time. I think he's a lost cause. At least for this team.

    I wanted to like this guy, but I have to agree with you, he's really Nolan Smith with a decent 3pt shot right now. But he can't create his own shot, and his mid range game is terrible, so all he can do is hit open 3s he happens to get within the offense. He doesn't have PG skills.

    He went to school 4 years, and has used up the rookie excuse. Right now, he is not cutting it. He looks like a Euro-player to me.

    I guess I have to start bumping all the threads of people who straight wanted to cut Crabbe outright before this season. And it is a lot.
