Before a broken foot sidelined him for 25 games, Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum’s game looked to be reaching a new, never-before-seen dimension that had some suggesting he was due for his first All-Star appearance. Among the key reasons, McCollum had a more selective shot diet, something that The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor took a deep dive look into on a recent episode of The Void and in Monday’s Power Rankings.
In 2020-21, McCollum and the Blazers are making a concerted effort to get their guard more looks from 3-point range, as opposed to longer 2-point attempts.
