    after being cleared to practice yesterday, Cj Mcollum could is getting closer to a return. Although there is still no timeline for his return, blazer fans may have some worries on what his role will be on the team. He seems to be more of a shooting guard considering his scoring ability and his play style which before his injury was causing rumors of him challenging Wesley Mathews for the starting position. What do you think his return will bring to the team? As far as i'm concerned this team can only get better.

    welcome!

    Some might say that any minutes he gets will come at the expense of someone who will cause a chemistry problem b/c of losing them.

    I'm of the opinion that CJ was drafted (and groomed in Summer League) to be the main backup guard. I'm stoked to see him able to play off the ball.

    No, he can't get up the steps anymore. He's old.

    An undersized SG is not what we need. That said, who knows what he'll bring to the table. I doubt he will be a defensive asset. My thinking is that we fell in love with Dame (small college senior...) and hoped that with CJ lightning will strike twice. As for me, I'm skeptical.

    JJ barea was a pivotal piece in Dallas's championship run. You can't get more undersized than that. Speaking of that, Jason terry was pretty short too.

    And both were defensive liabilities.

    I think C.J. will be a better defensive players that those.... eventually. I suspect he'll be crummy initially like most rookies.

    I'm looking forward to seeing CJ. You can never have too many 3 point shooters.

    CJ is going to be terrific in this system. He can shoot from the outside, pass, and has the energy to improve on defense over time. I'm not as worried as some.
