Bench CJ Miles!

[gregbroncs]

Yeah, especially since one good game every fortnight means that he should automatically be a starter

The last 3-4 times he has started he has had good outings. Put him with better player's with less responsibility to score on his shoulder's and he seems to do better. Let AK carry that 2nd unit when he gets back. I want him to have a bigger role while on the floor anyway.

You must be CJ.

Well, he actually had only 5 starts for the whole season (@LAL, vs PHX, @ PHX, vs GSW, @TOR) against 57 appearances off the bench, but anyway, I checked the numbers:

Stats as starter: 44% FG, 37% 3PT, 19.0 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 2.8 APG, 1.6 SPG, 0.6 BPG, 1.4 TO in 36 mins

Off the bench: 40% FG, 33% 3PT, 11.8PPG, 3.1 RPG, 1.5 APG, 1.0 SPG, 0.5 BPG, 1.1 TO in 23 mins.

As well as shooting a better percentage, adjusting his per-game stats to a per-minute basis, he is (marginally) better in every category except Blocks as a starter. Also, his scores/rebounds/assists in these five games: 14/4/5, 19/6/2, 19/3/2, 20/6/1, 23/7/4. Even his shooting is much the same - 5-11, 9-19, 8-19, 7-18, 9-17. It's a small sample size, which I am loathe to draw too many conclusions from, but these games are relatively consistent, which is interesting. Perhaps starting him is the key to getting him to perform well and consistently? Given what we are getting out of Raja, could it hurt any to switch their roles?

So you are rainhut. You really need to learn to change posting styles if your going to keep reinventing yourself with new "friends".

I agree with you. Thanks for doing the research and finding those breakdowns.

And no. I see no reason it could hurt. Except for the lack of even a threat with the backups if you put Raja in instead of CJ. I think this move actually helps CJ and hurts the bench. That's why I would advocate making AK the backup to lead that unit and still give him 30+ MPG and limit Bell's role to 20 MPG as the starter.

Anyone that agrees with rainhut must be rainhut. Well here's my prediction. CJ Miles will cost Corbin his job.

It's not that you agree with him. You post like him. Use the same statements as him. And defend yourself like him. You post about nothing but CJ like him. There is little question left that you are him. Just like his "girlfriend" Cherber.

His girlfriend? I do wish he would come back. I just read that sloan said he left because of williams.
