CJ podcast with Woj

I'm not crazy. I like CJ's game just as much. That's it. We don't have to agree. That's why the forum exists.

Some of us understand that. Others, not so much....

I'd rather have CJ than Rudy. The Greek Freak and CJ in my opinion is a toss-up.

Greek Freak is far and away a better player than CJ, I'd take him in a heartbeat. Gobert and CJ is the real toss up, depends on whether you want a 20+ scorer or a guy who erases shots.

Greek Freak is not a better offensive player than CJ. Get your mind right on that. Rudy gobert as two to three shots block a game is nothing compared to CJ's 23 ppg.

 

[Po'sFinest]

On the board when we took CJ:

Giannis Antetokounmpo
Rudy Gobert

Just sayin'.

Ohh trust me I'm not trippin.. Cj is just as impactful as those guys

 

[dviss1]

Conversely, saying that we should have chosen The Greek Freak over CJ is kind of foolish because he came from Greece and there are no hoopers in Greece... He played against mediocre competition and that's the reason why he was drafted so low. Lots of other teams passed on him.

All this comparing centers to CJ is asinine. Would I rather have Gobert than CJ when we have Nurkic? How is this even a conversation?

Woah, GF averages just as many points as CJ, he isn't as good a shooter but his offensive game still puts the ball in the basket at a decent rate (.523) and his defense is worlds better than CJ. I love CJ but GF is the superior player and every GM in the NBA would take him over CJ.

Of course that's today, and the draft is 20/20. I'm not upset we picked CJ over either prospect.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

GF's free throw rate is a Harden-like .488; does anyone honestly think he'd get that kind of FTr in Portland?

I mean, he's getting it in Milwaukee of all places... so why not? Lol

I just remember folks like SAR coming here and wondering why their foul shooting game dried up.

 

[Blazer4ever]

That human doesn't exist though?

You've said we should take a handful of guys that haven't amounted to anything. You're bound to be right on someone. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

He doesn't, but he's not a basketball player.

Would you trade C.J for Giannis Antetokounmpo?

 

[riverman]

Would you trade C.J for Giannis Antetokounmpo?

in a heartbeat

 

[Mediocre Man]

Would you trade C.J for Giannis Antetokounmpo?

I would say ya instead of yes, just to shave off time where they could change their mind

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

C.J. is a joy to watch, but Giannis is becoming a transcendent player. If both these guys stay healthy Giannis is a perennial All-Star Hall of Fame level talent, and CJ might make a few All Star games.

 

[dviss1]

Would you trade C.J for Giannis Antetokounmpo?

Love Christian James but I'm a freak bro....

 

[Blazer4ever]

Would you trade C.J for Giannis Antetokounmpo?

I'm actually not sure I would. Greek Freak is great but CJ is also amazing.
His offensive game is special, so smooth and natural. I think he, like the team, had a subpar season in many ways, but his offensive talent is special
