Rodney Hood is C.J. Miles

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Neither one of them are post players, so

Yet you can go look at shot type, shot distribution, assisted vs non-assisted shots, usage stats, and many others to paint a clear picture of how different the two players are.

Hood is leaps and bounds better than CJ in the PNR, one of the most important skills for a guard in today's game. Hood will pick it up w/ Gobert back in Rubio-less lineups.

Yup, and he runs about 8x as many, if not more, than those than CJ Miles does a season.

But you know, they are the same player.

At first I was like ...NO Way. Then I searched for an image of Rodney Hood and CJ Miles (Notes to kids, don't search for CJ Miles at work) but I couldn't find an image of CJ and Rodney together. So I starts to think that maybe they are the same guy, it would explain why "young Rodney" is hurt so often if he really is "old man CJ Miles", but then I found this image here:

and I thought Hah, they can't be the same guy cause there they both are, but then I noticed Rodney's head was turned so I can't really tell if it was him.

Searches for CJ Miles. Good find!

Would CJ Miles have had a better career if Snyder was his coach instead of Sloan?

Probably.

If a post-up players shoots the same percentage as a PG does that make them the same player?

If they shoot similar percentages and have similar attempt rates it makes them similar in effectiveness.

I'm not saying they are the same... I just don't think it is "dumb" to compare the two.

Possibly, but could have also been worse. I think a discipline oriented coach like Sloan might have been what a guy like Miles needed at his young age.

He at least still credits Sloan as the main reason he is still in the NBA.

Been there thought the same for a few years now

Though I’ve been coming to grips with the differences in their games now a days, and hoods misplacement in our cast of characters

I’m cold with a rich mans CJ Miles, but I don’t want to pay 20M/ year for it.

This. I also don't want either to try being a primary scoring option every game.
