you don't get it because you point to the minutes differential without crediting all the reasons behind it (one backs up a Wooden Award candidate, the other a token starting rookie).  And, someone in this thread wrote that James "sucks;" I thought it was you and if I am wrong I apologize.  The statement has been deleted, and I applaud the good judgement of the person who did so.

I always watch the games on DVR, I watch them very carefully, sometimes more than once, and often re-winding sequences over and over to figure out what happened.  I am telling you that, whatever the coaches are saying about practices, in actual game play CJ has improved [I]neither[/I] his mid range [I]nor[/I] his long range jumper.  He takes them a bit more often, to be sure, and everyone comments on them when he makes one, but his percentage is unchanged from last year (and nobody mentions his misses).

Damone Brown was 2nd team All Big East and is one of just 6 players in Boeheim's tenure to amass 300 rebounds in a season.  He even made an NBA roster and appeared in a few games in multiple seasons.  Most people would consider the comparison pretty high praise.  I definitely thought it would indicate just how highly I think of CJ.

On the flip side, I think Dirty's ceiling is vastly higher, but that he is much further away from reaching it.  CJ is ahead of him at the moment, and maybe always will be, but that still doesn't make his interior-oriented offensive game well suited to join a front line with Rak and DC2.
