Can the CJ Miles actually playing well and hitting jump shot experiment please not end?

While true. It will be more difficult for teams to just take Miles out of the game when you also have to worry about Jefferson, Harris and Ak. CJ should be more consistent as the 3rd option with better player's than as the 1st option off of the bench. This is why I believe AK and or Millsap need to be the leaders of the 2nd unit. They are built to be a main option better than Miles is. And Miles compliment's the starting rotation better than Bell.

Agreed.

Of course at this point Frank Layden's liposucked fat globules would compliment the starting lineup better than Bell.

It is going to be a real shame if it is clear at the end of the year CJ should have been starting all year. The numbers have been screaming at us that is true. The starting line-up with Raja was one of the three worst line-ups in the entire NBA and the line-up with CJ was one of the three best in the NBA. Furthermore, the idea that you need to keep a scorer on the bench at the expense of your starting line-up defies all statistical models. What a shame if this season was derailed largely based on this decision. There is a chance this is the case.

So if this is the real CJ as a starting SG does that change Jazz draft decisions?
Do Jazz still take a SG prospect with a pick at the expense of BPA?

When in the lottery you draft the best player available. Always.

They need shooters. Several to make up for Harris and Watson and RP. We have way too many smalls who cannot shoot. With Memo maybe gone, it will be even worse.

CJ had some good points that suggest otherwise. Sure, he is not going to score 40 again or likely even 30 again this year. But he said that starting works better for him because he is loose and having other threats on the floor opened things up and takes the pressure off. Remember the second unit earlier in the year: CJ, Earl, RP, Fes, and Franc. Who else was going to take shots in that bunch but CJ?

I will take your bet and say he scores over 15 next game and averages over 15 if he starts the rest of the year.

Bingo!
