CJ by the numbers

First off, i love what CJ has done for our team and the city since he’s arrived. But I’m going to put into perspective how bad he has been to start of this season. Downvote away but these are the simple numbers:
CJ:
19.1 PPG, 40%, 29% from 3, 6 AST
Russell Westbrook
16.1 PPG, 43.6%, 32.5% from 3, 6 AST
As the 3rd option on the team, CJ has led the team in attempts in 9 out of 12 games (yes i know we’ve had injuries). Russ has led his team in attempts 0 times.
CJ and Willie need to figure out what his role on this team needs to be, and it can’t be chucking up low percentage shots like it has been. That’s the exact criticism Russ has received and we clown on he and the Lakers constantly.
I have faith because while he was figuring things out last year, he stayed out of the way and hit the timely shots when needed. For some reason we get a better scorer back this year, and CJ has become more selfish. Last year’s version of CJ would be the perfect fit for this team

He needs a night off and to reevaluate his offensive approach in this team. He’s third option, at best, end of discussion. And agreed, he’s done a ton in his short time here. But as a leader he needs to adapt to what’s best to help the team win. I hope he does.

he's been especially shitty the past few games... and yesh, i agree, he needs a few nights off to evaluate what the frick is really going on b/c he's killing us out there...

I gotta believe (hope) his injured finger is hurting him pretty bad because he's missing wide open 3s on a consistent basis and he's a career 39% shooter from 3.

This! CJ is playing like he is option 1 instead of deferring to Zion and Ingram.

Woeful play from CJ has probably been the biggest problem so far
He used to run great numbers when Dame was out and he was the primary playmaker. Something is very amiss
Father time may have already snatched him

He's a shitty shooter who shoots shitty shots. Griffin needs to explain to the team he's got to be moved for a better shooter.
Move McCollum and the pick swap for an under 25yr old stud guard who shoots in the 40% range on 3's and close to 50% overall. A Devin booker like player would considerably elevate this team.
Alternative is to have McCollum see an eye specialist immediately to check is eye sight and depth perception; or have Vinson work with him every day if that hasn't already been done.
Bottom line right now he's killing this team with a consistent sub 35% shooting almost every night.

See...you were thinking you were gonna be DV'd. Turns out we all agree with you! He should not be shooting more than Z and BI if they are both playing. Its ridiculous.
