Summary

Former Jazz player C.J. Miles, who tantalized Jazz fans with his promising talent and tortured them with his inconsistency for seven seasons, returns to EnergySolutions Arena on Saturday when the Utah Jazz host the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"He gets a chance to be in an offense where he's moving and not standing," Scott told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "He gets a chance to handle the ball more, to be a little bit more creative in a motion-type offense. And I think that serves him well.

"He is one of our best guys in terms of set-ups and coming off screens. Besides Kyrie (Irving), nobody cuts as hard as he does. I think that's helped him, once he really started getting the understanding of what he needed to do offensively.

"And it's started to come, he's not thinking," Scott said. "He just reacts right now to the defense, and had some big games for us."

Corbin & Co. are just hoping Miles doesn't decide to have one of those tonight against his former team.

I don't miss C.J. at all. He never lived up to the hype. He seems like a nice kid, but I am glad he is stuck in Cleveland.

I wish the very best for CJ and look forward to seeing him. I hope the fans treat him well and don't boo him. Who couldn't like CJ? I hope he plays well but that the rest of his team plays lousy so that the Jazz win.

Go

One of the most inconsestant players I ever seen play! Never lived up to his expectations! I am glad he is not in a Jazz uniform!
