I really don't think his inability to be the focal point of an offense is much of a factor here.  It's not like an NBA team would ever expect that of him.  That inability hurt the SU team, as we flat out couldn't score enough to go far.  But for his NBA prospects?

I mean, John Wallace showed he could be the focal point of a college offense his senior year(at our most optimisitic that's what we dreamed of for CJ's senior year), and when it came to the NBA it didn't mean a thing.  John didn't get drafted any higher than he would've as a Junior.

I don't think the NBA cares about that with marginal prospects, as they would never expect these guys(late 1st rounders to 2nd rounders) to be focal offensive points of anything more than their 2nd units, down the road.

And I have to add in CJ's defense...he was lighting it up in the 2nd half against Dayton.  The game might've turned out differently if he touched the ball in the last few minutes.  Our amazingly incredible game manager who is so proficient at "running an offense" kinda got carried away with the hero ball down the stretch.
