CJ is a volume scorer, that's why he's a perfect 6 man...he builds leads and probably finishes most games. He will eat 2nd unit defenses alive coming off the bench. Not so much against starting 2 guards. I do think that he'll continue to improve because his hoops IQ is off the charts..the guy is a gym rat and is just tasting success...I think the most interesting speculation on this whole season is whether to sell high on CJ or Meyers or go with them. I don't have the answer.

That's tempting. I love me some Oladipo...

they came out of the same draft and frankly Olapido does not fit well with Payton as they both are very poor shooters, Olapido is no longer starting and now coming off the bench. Seems to me Victor is much better suited playing with a scoring PG like Dame, and CJ with a PG like Payton

IMO both Orlando and POR should now be asking which guys are long term fits as talent evaluation from previous recent drafts progresses. ORL has other guys they should be playing and already have Fournier who is playing very well and recently drafted Herzonja (spelling?), so they really need to look to "better fits" IMO
 
Everything i ever needed to learn about loyalty i learned from my german shepherd, and damian lillard. Offer me steph curry, lebron, harden, durrant, and the best blow job of my life in a neatly wrapped gift package for lillard, and ill tell you to eat shit and die.

You wouldn't even consider Curry for Lillard? That one would at least make me pause. All the other ones, no.


And then there's Harden. I wouldn't want him if it meant we only gave Houston a lollipop and some big league chew.

Not as athletic? I've seen CJ do a mid step, afterburner juke move that Dame could only dream about. Dude can explode when he has to. And Dame IS athletic. Both guys are, but they each have their own best stuff. I too am somewhat on the fence about CJ but I'd love to see this combo have at least another season after this before we do anything crazy.

There's absolutely no way that CJ can put the ball between his legs and dunk. He is nowhere near as quick or as athletic as Damian. He does have better handles and that's it.
 
CJ doesn't even have better handles, the only thing he is better than Damian at, is that pull up mid ranger jumper/floater.

I think CJ is better at shooting on the run as well as the teardrop than Dame but Dame has better court vision and finishes better at the rim than CJ

Steve Blake was pretty damn loyal, too. You could make a pretty good case that he was actually the most loyal Blazer ever. Most guys are pretty loyal right up till the time they say, "it's a business..." Even Benedict Aldridge claimed loyalty and was largely believed a year ago.

If CJ hadn't had two years of injury, I think he'd be right at Dame's level

Damian started at PG from day one. CJ still can't really PG for any extended length of time. But if you just mean in terms of nifty offensive moves, you might be right.

Huh. So he's missed a total of 57 regular season games already in his young career. And not just from one long injury, he's repeatedly injured.

More than the 15 a year you said he played.

SEMANTICS. :)

I agree, it is a concern. He could grow out of it. I guess you could say CJ was injury prone until this year as well but I don't consider him injury prone overall like I do Beal currently.

Really? Cj handles are hella nice tho. I've never seen dame really shake and bake like Cj does he's more power straight line, like where Cj is side to side. But he does have a way better mid range and floater than Dame does

CJ has way better handles and Damian. Damian's ball handling while being very solid is nothing extravagant. Besides his defense, that's probably the worst part about his game.

How are his handles better? Who would you want out there to escape a full court press? Who is better at taking it to the rim? That's a sign of having good handles.

Dame's crossover is nowhere near as good as CJs. Escaping a full court press is called ball control not ball handling.

Yea I think that's what he means. Cj handles are And 1 mixtape style damn near. Dame doesn't do all that he's straight line drive with power than finesse
