The Washington Wizards thought that they were upgrading at guard when they traded for CJ McCollum this summer. Instead, they ended up with an undersized, aging guard who is off to a horrible start to the season.
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.
