Corbin been able to do, what Jerry couldn't do in 6 years, in just 13 games. Get CJ to attack the basket and guard someone. CJ should be starting instead of Bell. I just hope they trade CJ soon so I can watch him play the minutes he deserves as a player. He would shine in New York or Phoenix, even with the Clippers. Miami could use him too. Come on Kevin, may a deal..........

after how many years? 6? 7? CJ Miles seems to finally get it...and for the first time...i am agreeing to CJ Miles the commenter...and i agree...he could shine on other teams...because Al Jeff is a black hole in the offense...too bad that its just now that he realize it...if he did it a few years ago..who knows...we could've been to the finals...

As long as CJ bodies players and doesn't try to reach in too much for the ball, he should have the athleticism to play better defense. CJ, I remember many times that Sloan said in interviews that Miles (and other Jazz) needed to drive to the basket more, mix it up, not just take jumpshots. There were times when the only Jazz driving to the basket were Kirilenko and Williams for long stretches of games.

It is obvious that the Jazz have some players that need to be traded. If Corbin has a good relationship with the "power pups" and I believe that he does, that is all that matters. Somehow somewhere, they need a good young point guard. It wouldn't hurt to target Bradley Beal of Florida (Gatorade Player of the Year for 2011) as a shooting guard. If you go on any site that targets the Utah Jazz, there are always comments from around the world. They are known as the "international team". I would hope that they can get that back. Okur, Kirilenko, Fesenko and others are missed. Kanter is here and that is great. Favors is here and that is great as well. Corbin has been given his shot and with his Ray Meyers and DePaul background that is great as also. The Jazz had it and now they don't. With Houdini, I would hope that they can "pull a rabbit out of the hat" and with the Carpenters "make it yesterday once more".

CJ has played well, despite his stats. His activity is much higher right now than in pervious games. I can handle bad percentages when they aren't bad shots. He is attacking the rim, playing active defense, and creating offense. I can't ask much more from a bench player.

CJ has to be a scorer on that second team. There are tons of times he gets stuck having to take a bad shot with the shotclock running out. That is not his fault. He could be a better passer off the dibble.

I'm glad CJ is doing better the past few games, and probably better this year than years past, and I hope he continues that throughout the year. However, this is the thing with CJ, he'll have a great game, and then be awol for a few games. He gets lost on D and O sometimes, and I am sure that everyone here has seen him look towards the bench and shrug at the coaches when this happens. Although he has had a couple of good games in a row, go back 3-4 games to the Denver game and he was a liability in that game. I think the inconsistency is what drives the coaches and fans crazy. If he can turn that around this year, then he could have a decent career.

Maybe Alec Burks success taking it to the hole and drawing the foul has turned on a light. Four games in a row with CJ taking it to the rack, playing defense and snagging a few rebounds. Keep up the good work CJ! Lets see alot more of this type of play! Go Jazz!

Hope you get your wish CJ but they would have traded him long ago if anyone wanted him.

I'm sorry but Okur, Kirelinko, and Fesenko are not missed. I ll take Jefferson over okur any day of the week, he is a true big man, with nice moves, and still has a lot more growing to do. The guy is young, and has great chemistry with Paul Millsap, and i ll take Howard and Burks over kirelinko. kirelinko had a few nice moments in his younger days, but he was never worth what he got paid, and is a complete head case. dont even get me started with fesenko. what a waste. we are not an international team, and we will never be an international team. maybe we had a few international guys, but guess what? IT DIDN"T WORK! I never saw any of those guys show up in the playoffs, or that waste carlos boozer. this team is much better off and we are going to find a good point guard. The future is very bright! and this team is gonna be fun to watch and a contender for years to come. hopefully cj can find some consistency.
