Shooting a career high from 3 point and better than 3 to 1 assist to turnover ratio. Put some respect on his name!

CJ McCollum in High School reminds me of Jaleel White (Steve Urkel) playing against Reggie Miller and Will Smith

I mentioned this to you a few games ago: being able to play as the 3rd option has opened CJ up massively. You mention that it has lead to a career high 3pt%, and you're right.

It has also led to his career high:

- TS%
- BLK%
- WS/48
- BPM
- Net Rating

Being able to focus on just being the ultimate gunner has led to his individual stats going bonkers, and of course it hasn't harmed the team either. Especially when he's the main shooter of the starting lineup, his ability and willingness to just gun it is invaluable.

I am hoping a guy that has been in the league for 10 seaons can change his game for the better of his team, others that can also.

CJ has been great shooting the ball. He's still frustrating on defense.

He mostly tries though and has been better this year than in previous years. He's not an elite individual defender but he's been demonstrably fine. In fact, one of the best things about this year is that (despite guys sometimes looking rough at times) we have no one bad enough on defense that they single handedly tank a lineup.

This is not an air your grievances with CJ thread. He has gotten enough disrespect on this board to last his entire tenure. Give the man some respect and leave it at that.
