CJ is good for this team. On a scrub team, he would be a chucker. On this team, we don't have a lot of offense, and for the longest time while players, mainly second string, were building their roles, CJ was damned if he took the shots or if he passed it to someone else who would screw up.
Now that we are seeing SOME synergy from guys like Brewer and consistency from Korver on both ends of the floor, CJs job has gotten a lot easier.
All along through this escapade of building chemistry, CJ has done something few backup PGs in his position do, he has retained composure. After guys like Brewer and Deng get better at playing the point-forward for a few minutes here and there, Watson is going to turn into a serious threat. I love how Thibs is allowing Deng to build that role, because he doesn't have to play that role, he just needs to improve his handles. It's like a cure for Deng's old habit of late-game disappearing tricks, genius move. Brewer still resorts to combo guard tendencies, but he'll soon get a better mix as a point-forward because he can slash around the baselines, as he loves to do. All of this gives CJ and Rose so many more options to work with, options they haven't had for a large chunk of the year.
