McCollum's brother, Errick, is leading the China Basketball League in scoring. Averaging 38.6 points per game.
I lived overseas and watched a lot of Chinese league hoops...centers are usually 6'6 or so and the game is slow. WNBA teams would beat a lot of those teams. CJ is a classic tweener..he has talent and a work ethic but I'm not sold on his game yet. Hope I'm wrong
Yes, we should have drafted this McCollum: [video=youtube;IskP72dBVho]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IskP72dBVho[/video]
Hindsight is 20/20. nobody could have guessed he would be that good based upon what he was doing to the Greeks.
He was the mystery man of that draft. I don't blame Neil for passing. Passing on Adams stings though. At 19, Adams was every bit as big as a healthy Oden who showed great defensive instincts at Pitt. Granted I was a huge CJ fan on draft day but I had Adams as my 1b - he has rare center size. Name a bigger shit-starter/pest right now than Steven. He gets under your skin like Laimbeer and Oakley.
Local Draft Guru D69 had both Adams and Giannis ahead of CJ. His history with the Draft is uncanny over the last 10 years. Somewhere I wrote a post on his selections over the years at where the Blazers picked and with one exception, he nailed it every time.
