20 points even. That is the lowest numbers of point per game that McCollum has averaged in a single season since breaking out in his third season and winning Most Improved Player in 2015-16. Like a metronome, McCollum averaged between 20 and 23.1 points for 10-straight seasons. Last year he put up 21.1 points per game and hit 37.3 percent of his 3-pointers.
