If he keeps playing like this, he could be a playoff contributor even this year if we weren't so stacked at the guard positions.

Other than Mitchell, CPJ is the best facilitating guard on the team, simply because he keeps the ball moving and makes quick decisions.

No way he’s seeing a single minute in the playoffs except in a blowout or half our team gets injured
 
He reminds me of Kyrie on the offensive end. In the sense of how he moves. Even his mid range shooting form. It’s weird.
 
Kyrie is one of the greatest finishers of all time. Him and my mom.

Isn't Craig really high up there? He is shooting 62% from within 3 feet. Kyrie shot 61.4% as a rook but didn't get there again until he was 25 in his 7th season

Ice is at 64% and I think we agree he finishes pretty well.

I'd be pretty curious who finishes better than him at that size. Only 6 guys in the league under 6'4" and under shoot better from 2 overall than Craig.
 
If you told me to coach a team and I didn’t know who had what experience and I was blind to everyone’s salaries, I’d try starting CPJ ahead of Garland and see if he could take the job.

And what would you do after CPJ had his Merrill like slump/regression and you’d ruined your relationship with Garland and his agent?

Like CPJ should or at deserves a more consistent role than he’s gotten. At minimum a 4-6 minute shift each gane, as opposed to sometimes only playing in the first half and sometimes not at all. And more would be great too, like a solid 16-20(though you can only do that by subtracting minutes from Okoro, LeVert, Garland, Merrill, Strus. Etc)

But when you give him the 32 mpg starting role, and you judge him as a driver of wins and results, the flaws and things that need to be worked on and developed with multi year experience will show out as teams focus on him and then the RCF fanbase will treat him the same shit way they treat Garland and LeVert

In my theoretical, I’d tell them to fuck off.

Because in this theoretical, it’s a pure meritocracy in a vacuum.

As to what would happen when teams focus on him, that’s a different story and a great point. I actually think his game will hold up quite well because he passes so well and plays a very heady game.
