why do you think so?
When JT is on his game, CDR is in no way better.
Same old problem as everyone else on this team though- CDR's 3-ball is fairly inconsistent.

LOL I thought he was 29 or 30. I feel like he's been in the league since like 2005. He's only been in the league 4 years???

Taylor is falling out of favor with Clifford each passing game. As you seen Gordon finished the game out tonight with Taylor on the bench. The CDR move was to get some competent depth. It's up to him to take JT's spot when he get the chance which shouldn't be hard to do.
Clifford tells Douglas-Roberts to be ready to play Friday vs. Pacers
The urgency involved in signing Chris Douglas-Roberts out of the Development League as an insurance policy at small forward was undeniable Wednesday.
“Friday -- that’s what I expect,” Charlotte Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said, when asked when Douglas-Roberts should be ready to play.
“It’s the NBA, he knows it. When he’s in there, we’ll be careful what we run but he needs to be ready by Friday (against the Indiana Pacers).
“That’s a big part of why he’s here. I was around him for a month (as an assistant with the Los Angeles Lakers). He picks things up quickly. I trust him as a competitor. I told him, ‘The reason you’re here is because you may be needed, so we need you ready.’ ”
He said Clifford’s expectation that he be up to speed on the team’s offensive sets and defensive principles by Friday is reasonable and he’ll be ready.
“We’re professionals. Things like this happen and you have to pick things up fast,” Douglas-Roberts said in an interview before the Magic game. “This isn’t college anymore. You’re in the NBA for a reason, and you have to pick up sets. A lot of the sets are (familiar) they’re just called” different names.
Clifford got to know Douglas-Roberts at Lakers training camp before Douglas-Roberts was cut last fall.

However, he's another throw back style player!
WHO IS IT in upper mgmt at CHA who loves them some Old Style ball players? Al, Hendo, MKG, Kemba - every single one of them would have looked a lot better in the 1990s. Do we have even one player who would fit in, for instance on that POR roster? WHEN will we get even one modern style ball player who can play both inside and outside the 3 pt line??????

unless cho is the dumbest analytics guy in the league, it has to be higgins and to a lesser extent MJ. higgins is an 80s/90s tweener who wasnt a 3pt shooter. MJ thinks teams win with defense and wings who can score at the ft line.
