1. CJ McCollum2016-2017
Team:PortlandTrailblazers
Position:ShootingGuard
11/11/16 TrailblazersvsKings
Strengths:
 Excellent scorer off the P&R.( Top 5 in the league in my opinion)
 A nightmare inthe mid-range shooting a high of 50% from 2 point range. (Best in the league in
my opinion. YES EVEN ABOVE SHAUN LIVINGSTON)
 Great at reading the defense and taking advantage of miss matches
 Has a good feel for the give and go with the big man, when giving a quick pass to the big man
and the big man giving the pass right back, CJ will either shoot of the dribble or will make a
move and confuse his man with pulling up for the mid-range.
 Efficientatcomingoff the picksand catchingand shooting.If the shotisn’tthere he will fake his
defender and will find a way to the basket.
 Able to handle the ball exceptionally
 Not only is he a first-class scorer he has a high IQ level
 Able to read weaknesses and takes advantage of right away
 Top notch footwork and agility
Weaknesses:
 Wouldlike tosee hisdefensive intensityincrease ashe grow as a player
 Makes unnecessaryfoulsthattake himoutof the game
 Gets confusedondefensive picksandswitches
 Gets handledinside due tolackof strength
 Doesn’tlookstupendousonhisabilitytomove side toside ondefense
Overall, I like whatI see in Cj’s game,he is my favorite shooting guard in the league as ofnow. Would like to
see him progress on the defensive side of the game and startseeing a more two way type of player from
him.I don’treally notice any weaknesses in his offensive game and he will only continue to get better.
