CJ McCollum Goes Close To A Double-Double
2 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum almost had his third double-double of the campaign Saturday against the Suns, coming away from a 118-114 loss with 27 points and eight assists. He also picked up a pair of rebounds and had one block with three turnovers in 36 minutes. Shooting-wise, it was one of McCollum's finest nights of the season, as he finished 11-for-19 from the field with a 4-for-7 record from downtown. In general, McCollum's move to New Orleans has worked out well, but he's badly struggling to get the ball through the hoop, shooting only 41.2 percent for the campaign. As a result, he is averaging only 18.2 points a night, which is his work mark since becoming a regular starter in 2015-16. However, with him going for at least 27 points three times in the past four games, maybe we are seeing the start of a turnaround from McCollum.
