Trail Blazers Guard CJ McCollum Credits Eric Snow for Success

CJ McCollum has taken the NBA by storm in his five seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, but as he told Jamie Hudson of NBCSports Northwest, he did not develop in a vacuum. McCollum credits fellow Ohio native and NBA alumnus Eric Snow with helping him along the road to success. Snow’s basketball camps helped the high-scoring guard develop the right temperament on the court, health off it, and plenty of basketball skills.

Hudson quotes McCollum giving Snow credit for honing his game:

Being able to dribble, shoot, pass, understanding the game, understanding timing of certain situations, when to pass, when to shoot, how to maneuver around screens.
