What to Look For

It is not like C.J. Wilcox has never had opportunity. Every NBA player will get his opportunity at some point — whether it is because of that random game where injuries hit a team particularly hard, the coach just decides to give him his shot or whatever. NBA players do get their chances.

And when Wilcox got his chance, he has played pretty well.

Wilcox has played at least 15 minutes in four games in his career. He averaged 8.3 points per game and shot a 50 percent effective field goal percentage. Yes, this is an incredibly small sample size.

That set of games does include a 19-point performance against the Phoenix Suns last year when he played a career-high 29 minutes. Wilcox hit 8 of 13 shots and three of six from beyond the arc.

These are small sample sizes. Wilcox just has never played a lot of minutes. It is hard to know what to expect from him.

Wilcox has good size for a shooting guard and solid length. And his shot is very reliable. He just needs a chance.
