Little worried about CJ. When he first came back after injury he was getting consistent, but limited, minutes. Then, with an injury to a player ahead of him on the depth chart, he played more minutes in a few games and played well, scoring career highs a couple times. However, lately, his minutes have been reduced, and he is seeing a few DNP, coach’s decisions. He is falling down the depth chart, not moving up. He is clearly struggling from the field, hitting in very low 40’s from the field, mid to high 30’s from 3. If you projected out his scoring for 36 minutes, I think he is about 14-15 ppg. But, he is usually seeing under 10 minutes a game. He’s on a quality team, but since he started playing, they have been worse overall. So far, disappointing rookie season. Early injury to start, and not much of an impact. Hard to get much news out of Portland about him. Not sure how the coaching staff feels about him and his long-term prospects there. As a 4 year college player, he needs to make an impact in the next year or so, or he may have a tough time getting a second contract in the league.
