Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum has never been shy about speaking his mind, nor does lack confidence in his abilities, and rightly so. He’s one of the craftiest players in the league with the ball in his hands, so much so that his isolations at the top of the key qualify as must-see TV. He’s an underrated defender, boasting a defensive rating of 100.8 while ranking 17th in both steals (1.8 per game, good for eighth among guards) and blocks (1.8 per game, currently the most for a guard). And despite being a master of the midrange game, he’s become a prolific three-point shooter without any corresponding drop-off in accuracy.
