C.J. McCollum drops 32 points with ease for Blazers on Saturday
Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum made scoring 32 points look easy during a 112-100 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday.
He wasn't bad on efficiency with a 102.3 true shooting percentage, making 11-of-13 from the field and all six free throws with four rebounds, four assists, one steal and four 3-pointers. He may be right with C.J. way above league average in non-restricted paint scoring, midrange and on 3-pointers. For a guy who gets 48.3 percent of his shots on pull-ups, McCollum is vastly underrated as an elite scorer in the NBA.
McCollum had a team-leading nERD of 54.98.
