CJ McCollum will make his third appearance in the NBA’s 3-point shooting contest during tonight’s All-Star Saturday festivities but his first as a representative of the New Orleans Pelicans.
McCollum participated in the 2016 and 2017 editions of the 3-Point Shootout; however, he failed to get out of the first round both times.
In addition to McCollum, the field of contestants includes Desmond Bane, Luke Kennard, Zach LaVine, Patty Mills, Zach LaVine, Karl-Anthony Towns, Fred VanVleet and Trae Young.
None of the players featured in this year’s 3-Point Contest have ever come out on top previously.
