The big question for tonight

[BlazerWookee]

I wonder what Mediocre Man thinks of CJ's debut...

My only question for CJ is does he have the handles necessary for a SG in the NBA and is he quick/crafty enough to get off his shot against bigger players.

I have no worries about him making the mid range shot if he is open. But will he get open in a half court set is the question. Can he create his own shot? We will know in about 10-15 games.

Good question, but even if he can't a Rip Hamilton type game from him would be very valuable.

That's my concern. From the limited videos I've watched he appears to have a good dribble (better than Lillard?), but it doesn't appear that he gets his shot off very quickly.
However, I think we have more than enough shooters on the perimeter, so I'm wanting to see CJ get into the paint more than shoot jumpers.

Did CJ play for Syracuse?

Is he a white American-born center?

I'm sure MM thought he did fine.

He looked like this:

He just stood there smiling? Trade him before it is too late.

I think he has really good handles.

I think so too Nate. I still can't wait to see him do it against the big boys. The guys scores from so many different ways, but until he actually does it in the association, I will hold off my enthusiasm. But yeah you can't deny he has the handles from those videos.
