Maybe I'm wrong but under 2 minutes in the game and he's usually pretty terrible.
Clutch minutes this season


CJ
+6 plus/minus
.571 TS%
5:1 Ast:TO ratio
4.2 turnover ratio

Zion
-3 plus/minus
.474 TS%
.75:1 Ast:TO ratio
17 turnover ratio

BI
-20 plus/minus
.513 TS%
1:1 Ast:TO ratio
11.3 turnover ratio

Correct, except for Herb, of course. But he's not going to facilitate, he's finishing off of catches.


I just think the main question is, and has been for me on here for 2 seasons now, why do we seem to think CJ ALWAYS turns the ball over, always makes the worst decisions, always is the worst of our Big 3 in the clutch, etc....when for 2 years, generally speaking, all of the data has stated otherwise...

BI is the anti clutch, so I'm not saying CJ is worse than him when it matters. I think Zion hasn't been great but is going to be.

I don't know, I just go with the eye test. CJ does some dumb arse shite.

Too much dribbling, bricks 3s, early shot clock forces that seem to lead to the other team getting a layup.

The data is probably right but I just seem to remember CJ messing up in the clutch more.

But really they all do.

Zion dribbling off his foot and falling down in a crowd.
BI with another terrible mid range fall away.

Everything needs to go through Zion. His handle and balance are way better now and I think we'll see fewer turn overs.

I would like to see CJ with the second unit. I think he could take control of that second unit and be a spark off the bench.
