Yeah, CJ's handle is fine, he's just not an explosive athlete with a great first step. Same for Brandon. They both struggle to get past good defenders when being pressured one-on-one. Sadly, Willie seems to endorse the old NBA cliche that, at the end of the game, you just give it to your best player, clear out, and let them go get you a bucket. But there are no Michael Jordans or Kobe Bryants on this team...

The CJ hate from this fanbase is out of control. It's honestly an easy way to separate the level headed people from the idiots.

Dude averaged 22, 4, and 5 post All-Star break while shooting 45% from the field and 44% from three, and had less than two turnovers a game.

Guys have bad games, off nights. It happens. He's going through a bit of a rough stretch right now. Mind you his "bad game" that people are melting over he had 20 and 6 on 41% from the field.

Which is why we should've drafted Cam Whitmore when he fell into our laps. Maybe Hawk becomes an elite level shooter, but it would be so nice to have someone other than Zion with any burst.
