Hoopsworld: C.J. McCollum Discusses Return

[Natebishop3]

I'm sure he had some rust but as for not being Dame, he shot .512 from '3' his senior season (half season due to injury) compared to Damian's .409 his senior year. Since they both played in small conferences where they could get their shot almost any time and were the focus of defenses on a nightly basis, I think he has the ability to be the shooter Dame is without some of the quickness.

That's because Dame was probably shooting from 5 feet behind the NBA line, and CJ was shooting college threes

I just personally don't like Matthews game, never have. I like his attitude but not his game. When his shot is not falling he is pretty worthless in my opinion. He doesn't make anyone around him better. He constantly drives to the basket out of control with his head down and you just know he's gonna throw up some wild shot that's gonna probably get blocked. He never looks for his teammates on those head down to the basket drives. His defense is also overrated, BIG TIME. On the other hand I love CJ's game. His style is what basketball is all about.

Are you a LeHigh fan? Most of us just have Summer League and D-League to go on.

Considering almost all of his stats are at or above his norms....

Stats are for people that don't watch the games. in my opinion.

No, not a Leigh fan, but I have seen enough to feel very confident that he is going to be a very, very good player in this league.

Funny, I thought that's what message boards were for

Interestingly, coach strongly suggests that C.J. sucks:

Well you thought wrong.

Think he will be more of a tweener, take some of Mathews time until he can move over and maybe spell Lillard. But I don't know how well his ball-handling/distributing skills are. Lillard needs to take some time off to get his game back though.

Yeah. Stotts says CJ << Leonard.

He should replace Moe ASAP. He's already way better.

He will be way better then Matthews.

Where did you see this? If not LeHigh, all that leaves is Summer League 4 games, D-League 2 games, or a couple of workouts. How are you so confident? Shouldn't you say, "I'm hoping"?

Just because I'm not a Leigh fan doesn't mean I didn't see a bunch of Leigh games.

Leigh? WTF?

It's not like Lillard is particularly great at ball-handling and distributing...
