CJ McCollum is set to enter his 13th season in the NBA with a fresh start on the horizon after joining the Washington Wizards in a trade earlier this offseason.
Obviously, finding himself on a rebuilding team isn't the most ideal move for a 34-year-old veteran, especially as his career approaches the back half.
Contending for a playoff bound team is the ideal fit for a guard of McCollum's age and while he seems more than willing to embrace his new role as a mentor on the Wizards, there's no doubt that eventually the leadership role on a team with little motivation to win will eventually become exhausting.
