What It Means:

The Blazers used him at point guard a lot in this one, and even Damian Lillard was more of a shooting guard next to McCollum. The team also ran a lot of pick-and-roll with McCollum.

McCollum is a popular breakout pick this season, and he's likely to see a big uptick in usage rate. He's never played more than 16 minutes per game through his first two seasons, but he's almost certainly going to be over 30 minutes per game this year. The added playing time will lead to an increase in his counting stats. He averaged 6.8 points, 1.0 assists and hit 39 percent of his three-point shots last year.
