C.J. McCollum– C.J. McCollum was only a rookie last season and missed a bit more than half the season with a foot injury. The combo guard averaged 5.3 points in 12.5 minutes, playing behind Damian Lillard, Wesley Matthews, and Mo Williams. There is a good chance that Williams will opt of his deal and the doors will open for McCollum. What makes McCollum an intriguing player is that he can create his own shot better than most guards. Expect McCollum to average in the range of 13-15 points next season in about 25 minutes as the Blazers sixth man.
