As long as he doesn't cover the center with 1.7 seconds left in the game, I like him. I know, too soon. All kidding aside, you can tell he got great coaching at Duke. He knows where to go on the floor and he's not afraid to go to the hoop in the lane.

This..... LOL
 
He is shooting 48% and 43% since he came back. His percentages have increased pretty strongly every month that he has played. It would seem that his "streakiness" is closer to his current level than to his November level.
 
Although he's not very quick or an adept dribbler, it seems he does a decent job of creating his own looks against defenders in isolation. I really like those plays where he slowly pushes his defender towards the paint, stops on a dime, and swishes the shot.
 
Also love that he seems like the same shooter from all areas of the floor whether off the dribble or not. Not all are like that.

I just pray he's not CJ Miles 2.0

I think it's pretty safe to say he's not. No one can say with certainty that he'll be a good player in the long run, but he appears to have common sense, which would separate any player from being like CJ Miles.
 
Pretty confident Rodney has the ability to shoot 43%/38%. He got off to a very slow start, but he's played much better since coming back from the injury. And he's not afraid to try to create shots. For some reason, I thought he had played more than just 2 seasons of college basketball. That means he's still pretty young, basketball-wise. He still has quite a bit of upside.
 
His mega-high release should pay dividends in the form of game-winning shots...lots of them.
