Is it time to pick up C.J. Miles again? Looks like he's in Byron Scott's good graces again, as he's started to the last two games and has put up 28 points in each.

I realize its a small sample size, but is it reasonable to expect him to continue to start and to produce at the levels originally projected in the preseason?

Waiters as the 6th man wouldn't shock me, but I don't want to go overboard given the circumstances. Grabbing him is going to depend on team/league context. Still, it's enough to make me feel slightly less dumb about those preseason projections

Hey, I grabbed him as my last pick on a lot of my teams. It was not that crazy to think he could do something with the opportunity. Don't feel too bad.

I am thinking about grabbing CJ and dropping Humphries. Humph blows right now and I have plenty of PF's. His minutes are getting less and less as well.

Also, had Humphries in my other league and I dropped him and picked up Drew Gooden who just came back.

I'm good with Humphries for speculation on Miles, because Hump is looking at mediocrity, at best. But get rid of Gooden - he only played yesterday because Sanders and Udoh were out.

Ahh crap. I will find a replacement. Gooden used to be good. For a short while at least.
Thanks!

Cavaliers coach Byron Scott is constantly looking for answers. He made a change to his starting lineup on Wednesday by inserting C.J. Miles at shooting guard in place of rookie Dion Waiters. "I'm trying to find a better balance and make us a better basketball team," Scott said. "I'm trying to find a way for (Waiters) to be more effective. Now, he's the guy with the ball in his hand (with the second unit)." Waiters, who started 24 of 33 games this season, will operate with the second team.

Miles' past 15 games: 25 mpg, 15.2 pts, 45/47/91, 2.7 3pm, 3.1 reb, 0.8 ast, 1.7 to, 0.5 stl, 0.2 blk. There's some upside with those defensive numbers based on previous results.
