    Hyuk hyuk hyuk.

    CJ would be a good Spur. TRob would be killer in Greece or Russia.

    Kendall Marshall has had a far better NBA career than CJ, to this point.

    Crawford lit him up last night. I swear 24 of his 25 points were on CJ. That's what it felt like anyway.

    I paid attention to his defense last night (we all already know his shot is broke) and he was terrible. The way he plays screens is ridiculous. Even when he fights through them, he does it so slow that the ballhandler easily gets by him.

    Crabbe not playing over him is a JOKE. I don't know how that's even acceptable.

    Just with the eye test I still would take CJ any day over Nolan. CJ has plenty of improvement to show tho. I think he is up for the challenge. Look at Crabbe. He is starting to get it.

    CJ plays better defense than Nolan. Nolan picks his nose more

    Ok, I just looked up the stats.

    In the games that both CJ and Crabbe have played in (together) since Batum came back from injury:

    Crabbe has averaged 12.5 mins a game.
    CJ has averaged 9 mins a game.

    Crabbe started in place of Batum. CJ would never have been asked to do that, healthy or not.

    Crabbe is a more NBA ready player on both sides of the court than CJ..CJ is basically a rookie this season and he's not helping his own cause.

    Seriously, NO ONE on these boards was saying that at the end of last year - these types of thread were about Crabbe.

    Basically what I been saying. CJ will have a similar jump next year that Crabbe had this.

    CJ showed some nice things against the clippers and then some horrible things. He can create his own shot and made some nice moves but he seems to rush things, you can tell the game is still to fast for him. Defensively he doesn't know how to get by a screen and thats what leads to the majority of his bad D, just set a screen and his guy will get open. He doesn't LOOK clueless on the court which is a BIG thing, its not like he is Leonard from last year where he looked lost half the time.

    Yeah...Including all the shots he made during the 12 minutes CJ wasn't playing. And of course the times where it wasn't CJ's man to defend which was the other 17 mins. Batum or Wes covered Crawford.
    This is called "looking for something that is not there". Here is the box score so you can look at the minutes played.
