C.J. Miles

If we're measuring his consistency then let's at least give the guy a fair shake. Including pre-season, he's had at least 10 points in every game he's been given 20 minutes. He's shot 34 3's and made 17--50%. He's made 28 of 32 free throws for a respectable 87.5%. He's had at least 1 steal in all but 2 games. His minutes were limited in both 0 steal games (15 in each). That's pretty consistent for a 1/2 time player.

Agreed with this and also with the comments on sample size. Right off the bat the sample size of 4 games is too small and so is 12 (if we count preseason as equal, which is a bit questionable). So when I split an already small sample size in half, sure, it's small, but it shows the roller coaster CJ has been on for 4 games. I'm just glad he's on the top of a hill now, and I hope he stays there.

I mostly just wanted to mention the bold section...CJ would have been "given" 20 minutes in both of those games if not for his foul trouble, so he's the only one who kept himself off the court for the additional 5/6 minutes in the two games. Even with poor shooting, I think he would have gotten enough more minutes to hit 20.

You're right there. I left it out as I was already writing a novel. To add, his high fouls coincided with poor shooting, as candrew has pointed out.
