The ...Yeah, and you know how I feel about Giricek. The opportunity was there for somebody who was capable of taking it. I like Fisher, but not at 2. I just haven't ever seen anything out of CJ that looked that promising. Just another teenage draft misfire, in my opinion. The one 29-point game was little different than an exhibition, late in the season against a tired team missing Gil and Caron. Lots of crummy players have an occasional good night. For example, Jumaine Jones scored 31 against the Lakers on Feb 3 2006, but you didn't see anybody clamoring for more PT for him. <BR/><BR/>Maybe Miles will prove me wrong, and I would love it if he did. It does seem unlikely to me though.LaPaubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01859527734327349904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686559413429262258.post-80564695327777865302008-07-25T21:00:00.000-06:002008-07-25T21:00:00.000-06:00CJ will be way more successful than AlmondCJ will be way more successful than AlmondNicholas G.

Harpring is on his way out. <BR/><BR/>Keep in mind the Jazz drafted Miles when he was 18, and Jerry will not play rookies that aren't named Paul Millsap. Then in his second year, he played 10 minutes per game (again, scattered in two- or three-minute chunks) at 19 years old.<BR/><BR/>Last year there was the crap with Jerry and the Revue. <BR/><BR/>I don't think it's fair to assume he's gotten a fair shot at the job the past three seasons, when really, he only had one year, at age 19, to impress Jerry and earn playing time. <BR/><BR/>Besides Fisher and Giri were playing a lot at the 2 that year. It's not like there was no one (though you know how I feel about Fish).Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08426116709669588248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686559413429262258.post-65530101249091094242008-07-25T19:28:00.000-06:002008-07-25T19:28:00.000-06:00I'm surprised that you want that much PT for CJ. ...I'm surprised that you want that much PT for CJ. With Brewer and Korver taking 20 mpg each at the 2, when would Miles get his time in? I wish Utah would just let him go. If in three years he hasn't helped the team, especially while we had nothing at 2, then he won't do so in the future either. If Oklahoma City wants to spend $15m for a 29th pick from three years ago who's seen nothing but bench, let them at him. It would be better for both CJ and Utah.LaPaubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01859527734327349904noreply@blogger.com
