CJ McCollum

Ha-ha.

So many people were out here like, oh, Jalen Johnson, he's going to be impacted by CJ McCollum.

You see the type of impact that CJ McCollum had on him and it stabilized his value.

And I understand those concerns.

But for me, He is a triple-double machine.

But top 75 seems like a reasonable, smart play for somebody who at some point in time should get it going.

CJ McCollum, right around the top 150.

I don't think there's a lot to talk about there.

Let's get to Charlotte.

Raynaud would be my preference if I wanted to stash one, and it would only be if I had multiple IR spots, more than two.

Would I trade CJ McCollum for Mikhail Bridges? I actually don't think I would, which, yeah, I don't think I would.

I think I'd prefer CJ, which, yeah, Mikhail is really bad at the moment.

I'll go with CJ.

And if they keep him off the line, I really think that he'll struggle to score.

And also, you know, CJ McCollum, uh nikki alexander walker those guys are having a lot of shots and kind of jalen johnson's kind of that tweener where he kind of gets his uh in the half court in transition and you can't get it you can't get out in transition against the rockets i mean they don't they don't allow a lot of transition looks at all so i'm looking at jalen johnson under and uh I'm looking at probably a KD under as well.

I think this is kind of a game where those guards, Fred Van Vliet, I mean, Thompson, I think those guys should have a better game offensively.

And KD kind of takes the backseat role as far as the scoring goes.

If they keep him off the line, I really think that he'll struggle to score.

I think this is kind of a game where those guards, Fred Van Vliet, Amin Thompson, I think those guys should have a better game offensively.

Jalen Johnson had 19 points in the game.

They got 19 points off the bench from Aaron Wiggins, 14 from Nikhil Alexander-Walker, 13 from CJ McCollum.

Dyson Daniels had 11, Onyeka Okonkwo had 10, and then some garbage time, Corey Kispert had 11.

But what I wanted to talk to you about is the rookie, Kingston Flemings, who's going to be a work in progress as any young 19-year-old player who's thrust into a key role, which is the backup point guard for a team that wants to put itself in contention for the postseason.

He only had one steal.

I say only after having 12 in the first two games of the season.

CJ McCollum had 17 in that game, and Aaron Wiggins again off the bench, who has been a revelation.

It's early, but Aaron Wiggins...

But Nikhil Alexander-Walker, the usage is on another planet.

The opportunity for him on an Atlanta team that obviously has McCollum playing a little bit more secondary at times.

We're seeing some interesting runouts from Nikhil Alexander-Walker.

Less usage last time around, but...

Dyson Daniels does a lot in the box score.

He does not shoot threes.

CJ McCollum, not my favorite thing for him to see in the entire world.

But if you're going to have somebody get some volume, you're going to have somebody break and separate at 6,300 and put up 50 plus.
