This was also good. CJ has been working as hard as last season and feels very confident coming into training camp. I'm tellin ya, I saw CJ in preseason and he looked sharp. The thumb really ruined my excitement for him that season. He mentioned how the thumb was a blessing in disguise. He said that even though he couldn't lift and work his upper body as much as he would've liked to, the injury made him mentally tougher. He had high expectations for himself last year, and he wasn't physically able to bring it. He also talked about how he built confidence to drive more and get to the hoop cause he couldn't shoot.
I'm once again very excited to see what CJ can do this year.
Thanks for the recap. Don't think it's posted.
I remember listening to a pre-season interview last year and had really high expectations for CJ. It's good to know that last seasons injury didn't shake his confidence and he's coming back just as "hungry". He's like 23 right? Bring it CJ - we need you!
