CJ Watson

I haven't known Tennessee basketball for very long, so I don't really know much before CJ got to Tennessee. Where would you rank his entire career (college, D league, and the NBA) across Tennessee's all-time true PGs?

There's that "true PG" thing.

I get your point and opinion as we've had this same discussion, but just because a guy plays there I don't think makes that his position.

Jp prince played there for a stretch and at no point would I really call him a PG. Same could be said for Tyler smith.

Sometimes players have to play other positions out of necessity, it works both ways. Eric Bledsoe was a PG, but he played SG because he had to, that doesn't make him a SG though. Dane Bradshaw at times played the 5, at no point in his career is he actually considered a 5.

The reason I said that in the first place, though, was to see how he stacked up against people with similar skill sets. I wouldn't compare a slashing 2-guard with a spot-shooting 2, either.

Here's another question, do you think if CJ was a year younger that we'd have made the Final 4 in 07? I think if CJ was there playing the point instead of Ramar, we could have closed out the Ohio State game for sure, and we'd have still finished off Memphis.

CJ came up big last night. He's not a very efficient scorer, so he should maybe shoot less. He's a good defender and decent distributor.

At no point did Bradshaw play center. But I get your point, to a degree. So was Tony White a "true PG"?

As far as total career goes Watson is probably the most successful PG I remember at UT.
