When SWC says "complementary" player, not to speak for him, but I think he means simply that he doesnt think he has yet developed into the "alpha dog" type of "give me the ball and I'll win the game for us" type of player.

Which doesn't mean he isn't very valuable for us this year, as he clearly is.  Because of his versatility he is extremely important to us this year with our thin bench.  We would be dead without him.

It also doesn't mean he isn't very skilled, because he seems to have improved his rebounding, his handle and his shooting.  And his decision making seems also to be very steady.

Finally it doesn't mean that he will never become an "alpha dog"'type of player. I think he has the raw skills. He did surprise me quite a few times skying for rebounds.  He also surprised me in the tourney last year.

I actually think he is intelligent and unselfish enough to know that a team can't have 5 alpha dogs on the same team all wanting the ball in key situations.  Last year the team needed CJ to play "alpha dog" and I'm not quite sure that he was ever totally comfortable in that role.
