CJ is currently playing at a level near Dame's best season (last year). That's a huge jump. I expect some (like half maybe) of that is sustainable, which is still a big jump.
1. He's increased his assist rate by 20% from last year and by 70% from 2 years ago. That's largely sustainable as it's just a decision to pass the ball.
2. He's changed his shot distribution. 50% more 3's than last year and correspondingly fewer mid-range & at the rim shots. Again, that's a decision and should be sustainable.
3. He's shooting 0.444 from 3 and better than usual from the FT line. That's unlikely to be sustainable. But even if you assume that his shooting drops back to career percentages, his TS% still works out to be up 20 to 30 points just from his change in shot distribution (like from 0.541 last year to 0.571) .
4. His TOV rate is down 30% from already low levels. I don't know if he can sustain that. It's a surprising number giving that his assists are way up. But at least part of that improvement could be due to taking fewer at the rim shots and fewer hurky-jurky mid-range shots where he sometimes gets stripped.
