The Portland Trail Blazers have been long eliminated from contention in the 2022 NBA Playoffs, though they’ll have ample players from the franchise’s past to keep eyes on this spring. Among those most noteworthy is New Orleans Pelicans star guard CJ McCollum, who not only chipped in a 32-point, six-rebound, seven-assist performance to push his team within one game of a Playoff appearance, but was also buoyant about what it could mean going forward.
As noted through ESPN.com’s Andrew Lopez, the talented two-guard projects “a lot of winning” in the Pelicans’ future.
