CJ Miles Breakout Season (take 4)

[LogGrad98]

My prediction for CJ this season. 20% great games, 40% below-average games, and 20% facepalms.

And 20% so bad they're not even worth mentioning I suppose?

I think it breaks down like this:

10% Holy **** this kid is AWESOME
20% I wish they had played Hayward more that game
50% Did CJ play last night? Hmm, didn't notice
20% Holy **** why does ANYONE let CJ even in the stadium?

I'm still laughing over BJ Smiles.

I must add a disclaimer. I do not think we will gain anything by playing CJ many minutes this season. Burks/Hayward need those minutes as at this point they are far more promising that CJ. That said, if he has a breakout season, I will be cheering loudly for him. I would love to see one of our wings become an all-star this year, whether that is Hayward, Burks or CJ. I think CJ is a nice kid. I have nothing against him as a person. I just think he is what he is, is not likely to get much better, and in fact more likely he will get worse since his issues have always been mental and not physical and that is harder if not impossible to improve. I just feel strongly that we have better options at the wing position.

I don't know why Miles being lighter is such a good thing - before he bulked up he got pushed around like a bitch most of the time. Especially when he played the 3. And last year with the weight (which was mostly upper body) was the only time he made some contributions other than shooting well once a week.

Guys just not that talented and he's soft. I don't know what else there is to say about him

If he gets off to a hot start, trade his *** before he does what he does every year. Get something nice back. Like a 2nd rounder and no salary back.

Most wings don't average 3 assist per game. To average 3 apg you have to have the ball a decent amount. Most wings aren't asked to facilitate that much.

Statistically, you are right, most wings had less than 3 assists, but still, there were plenty of guys that had 3 assists , but fell short on the shooting percentages, including AK for example. I think Hayward could hit all those numbers though. I don't like having all the assists coming out of one position, personally, I'd rather keep the defense guessing.

CJ's problem has nothing to do with his body and everything to do with that weak brain of his.

I do like that he has dropped weight. His strength never seemed to help him do anything, but he did seem a little slower each year.

yeah, he seemed very slow, winded, & flat-footed last year.
as much as he frustrates me, i really wanna root for this break-out year.

Holy **** I'm tired of this thread/conversation/topic.

This. Let the guy fail or succeed. But good lord he is the Tebow of Jazzfanz.

Are you really criticizing his twitter for mental ineptitude? It's twitter. He actually is probably in the higher percentile of understandable tweets than most.
