Has the CJ experiment ended?

He hasn't played much for the last couple games. Do you think Corbin is putting an end to this experiment?
 
Yes.

That is until CJ learns to play team basketball and doesn't try to play ratball whenever he gets on the court.

He's only had seven years to figure this out. (edit: CJ has. Well, kinda Ty too.)
 
You know what they say, don't count your chickens all in one basket.
 
Nah, KOC just told Ty to showcase Howard for an upcoming trade. I'm sure Kevin and CJ's agent are already discussing a 5 yr/$35M contract.
 
You can't fix stupid. How many meaningless foul calls does CJ get when we're in the penalty? Should not be happening to a 7h year player.
 
There is already a 61 page thread about this. Why do you people start threads that already exist and are already much better than this.

As an affirmed CJ apologist, you can take this with a grain of salt. I don't think anyone is upset with how CJ is playing. I think he's caught in a numbers game. Ty believes he has to start Bell (don't get me started.) So that leaves 4 guys for the other minutes. It's not like Wards are going to lose time. So the last spot is between CJ and Burks. Burks has played well (until last night) and he's getting the time.

I think there are people that are upset with CJ playing. Stupid fouls and plays. That really shines thru when the other wings have high BBIQ. Hayward, Bell and Burks make smart plays all the time. Then CJ comes in and makes a boneheaded move and it really stands out.
 
Like I said in another thread, no one has an anointed position on this team. If CJ doesn't learn from this competitive experience, there's really not much hope for his career in Utah. Not bashing on him, really would like to see his light bulb go on and STAY ON! But when it fades, coach Ty will be watching and quickly show him the bench.
 
First post in many years for the grandpa. Almost have to be a grandpa to go back to CJ's rookie year. I want to say that i have been possibly the biggest supporter/believer in CJ Miles since the beginning. However it has reached the point where even i must say that despite his undeniable talents he will apparently never be a reliable player in the NBA. He seems unable to mentally approach the game as a player at this level must. However one defines the working of an NBA players mindset it is obvious that CJ Miles has none of it. He seems to try and concentrate and learn lessons, but for whatever reason he reverts back to his status quo at the drop of a hat. And that being a hat that nobody else sees. The experiment as it has been styled here, needs to end, it is time to move on to guys who do seem to have a KNACK for this game such as Alec Burks, Kanter and Favors and Evans. If this is a Bit of a rambling post it's because this is painful for me to admit after being a believer for so long. I wish CJ the best ( I think he is a great young man) but i would like to not see him on the floor any longer as a Jazz player. His only shot at success is to leave Utah and try the situation somewhere else.

All CJ has to do and all he's had to do the entire time he's been here is take smarter shots and buy in. Outside of the year he got his contract, he hasn't done that and has only gotten worse at both of those things. You'd hope he'd notice that his scoring across the board has become less and less efficient every year since then and he'd focus more on what the coaches have been telling him every day for 7 years instead of fighting with a rookie to see who can put up the most shots in the least minutes.

But as history has shown us, having hope that happens is folly and Miles seems hell-bent on trying to prove his doubters wrong by doing everything they predict and continually worse than before.

CJ is his own worst enemy.
