CJ has played well defensively in both games

7 STOCKS already. And I think a lot of people forget that he started off last season playing really well defensively (I think, it may have been 2 years ago).
I really think that he still has the ability to be a solid defender, but with his age catching up to him, he starts falling off on that end as the season progresses. With the addition of Murray as well as Hawk(!!) emerging, I think that the team can both limit both his minutes as well as how much energy he expends running the offense. I suspect that will help him continue playing well on both ends of the floor for most of the season.

He was sagging off way too much at times but that jump ball at the end was clutch af

I know we have injuries, which made it obvious that McCollum would start. But if he keeps playing this well and is top 3 player on the team, how are they going to bench him?

If Missi is going to be a good rim runner and rim protector, then we have to decide if it's worth trying to make a run this year. Which means we don't trade anyone during the season and try and figure it out in the off-season. IF that's the case then we have to decide how best to utilize the guys we have. CJ is a better offensive player than Trey, but a lot of what he does is redundant when he's on the floor with DJ and BI and Zion all at the same time. IF CJ was willing to come off the bench then you have a very good 6th man who can shoot at an elite level and is able to consistently get off his own shot. Something we don't really have off the bench. Trey is an equal floor spacer and better defender but cannot initiate the offense. It's all about balancing the lineups. We have 4 guys who are all star level at shot creation, we should try and spread them out when we're all healthy. I think if we're actually a top 3-4 seed then he'd be willing.
