CJ McCollum‘s spectacular play over the last six games has been a real bright spot in Damian Lillard‘s absence. Though the Portland Trail Blazers haven’t won all the games they needed to, CJ has shown again that he is one of the best guards in the league.
It’s not easy to stand out in Dame’s shadow. Not only is he the greatest Blazer of all-time, he also had one of the greatest offensive runs in NBA history in January. A tough act to follow. It seems like CJ quite often has Dame type expectations on his shoulders.
