    Actually, the most flattering comparison that's appropriate for CJ is, I think, Utah-era Deron Williams. They're pretty similar in size and they both look slow of foot but somehow manage to get where they want to go:

    Not bad. Not so similar on defense though as I recall.

    I don't see it. TimBug wasn't big on the midrange game. Plus he was like a little bowling ball, and super quick (at least, before the knees went), whereas I see CJ as much more herky-jerky.

    [Having said that, watching the video I do kind of see it. He's quick laterally but slower otherwise than I remember.]

    Not at all. Timmy was crossover and go. CJ is lull you to sleep.

    I don't think they're similar at all. Timmy was my fave player back in the day.

    He's got the same high release.

    I think the defense was more to do with Sloan than Deron.
