    Excellent. CJ focusing on defense. Will maturing and becoming less selfish. Both fighting for PT and knowing nothing will come easy.

    Please don't be all hyperbole

    That was a damn good read!!! Thanks for sharing.

    I honestly think CJ will be our back-up PG when he's ready. The defense concentration is soooo nice to read.

    I think Barton will eventually be our back up SF as well.

    Both can share the backup 2

    I will believe CJ can play PG when I see any evidence of it. So far, Will is 20x better at PG. Time will tell if CJ can develop those instincts--and it's hard to imagine Stotts giving him minutes there of Blake is healthy. CJ could end up the better SG backup, but Will will get minutes at the 1 and 3 I would guess.

    Bro he was injured for almost half the season. He was a rookie as well, so those types of players need to have minutes to find themselves. Are you writing CJ off already for half a rookie season?! Really?!

    Hurt in college. Hurt as a rookie. He is Eliot Williams until he proves otherwise.

    When Wes says everyone has gotten better, I tend to believe the man! Everyone across the board is emphasizing defense and that's what I like to hear

    Serious answer: same roster. As long as there are no major injuries, there is nothing to see here. We will rise or fall with the same core that carried the team last season.

    No common cold or flu would stop Wes from practicing. He must have ebola.
