Event What do you expect from CJ Elleby in his career?

[C_note]

Honestly the only reason he's even in the league is because of his height, motor and athleticism.
He doesn't look even close to being able to develop a consistent shot, and that's a bare minimum in the league these days.
Out of the league within 3 years.

Hopefully a haircut.

Last five games he had played 23min or more. He has moments but I’m not sure if it’s enough to stick in the NBA, let alone play meaningful minutes on a decent team. But I like him, he’s cheap and doesn’t fuck up at much other than scoring.

What do you think? What will he become now that he’s getting tanking minutes?

I like his hustle and his board work but that’s pretty much it. I think Hughes is the better prospect.

Retire as a Blazer. Jersey in the rafters.

Retire as a Blazer. Jersey in the rafters.

And his retired jersey will just say "CJ" because we will all know which CJ we're talking about

You can't teach motor and hustle - and with this it would not surprise me if he sticks in the league as a role player for a long time, he is only 21 at this point - so there is still a chance he develops his shot.

But, just as likely - he will flame out and become a professional player in Europe or China.

I think if he puts the time in, works hard, and keeps his nose clean, Arby's will promote him to manager after a couple of years.

He's a floor pirate, nothing flashy, weird shot. However, he creates havoc and knows how to disrupt lanes. He's always throwing himself around at others, he's a disrupter, a floor pirate.
