He's Mr. Consistency, the Glue Guy for this team. Like the honey badger, he don't give a ...come off the bench instead of starting like he should, play center, sweet lefty j's, 'garbage points', shoot nearly 80% from line, he just does it all and doesn't give a . Kid would be a star on most teams.
 
Absolutely agree. Kid is never out of control. Plays completely within himself. I just love his game. Most underrated player on team because he does nothing flashy. If not for Dion, may be the BE 6th man of year.
 
I don't think there's any cuse fans who don't appreciate Fair's game. The national media hasn't caught on yet, but they will.
 
He had a mini-slump early this year and I thought that something must be wrong with him. Must have been the sophmore jinx - but he has returned to form in the last few games. Although he gets some nice boards, I'd really like to see him improve in this area.

When I saw CJ playing the 5 in the zone with the Orange bigs in foul trouble, it reminded me of Kris Joseph playing the back of the zone in the 6OT win over UConn in 2009. Thabeet was still in the game and Kris was doing the best he could. Onuaku, Jackson and Ongenaet had fouled out. Of course I know tonight's game wasn't as dicey, but it was cool to see CJ back there holding the fort. Get well Baye.
 
I am a big fan of CJ. His game is smooth, consistent, unemotional and under control. At some point in the second half I believe, a loose ball kicked around and ended up in CJ's hands (well I suppose it never ends up in his hand b/c he just seems to get himself in position) and he came up short on a jumper.

I found myself yelling at the TV. Not so much that I cared or it mattered that he missed, but rather b/c that was shot CJ always seems to make. I suppose I just root for his stat line. :)
 
CJ can play anywhere on the floor...high bb IQ. but yowzer...at center.
 
Hes really improved his jumper, hes not just getting garbage points anymore. Hes a big part of our offense being able to step back and knock down a jumper from the top of the key or the corner. I feel like him and dion got a good thing going, every time dion drives cj always gets himself in position for the dish and an easy layup.
