CJ McCollum lit up the Lakers with 25 points (11-of-23 FGs), one rebound, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers on Tuesday.
McCollum was solid in his first game as a Hawk, but he really showcased what he can be for them in this game. Though the starters struggled, the bench unit had more success, and McCollum was a big part of that. He also played 27 minutes, so his minutes shouldn’t take much of a hit when compared to his role with the Wizards. Most of his value will come from points and triples, but he’ll see plenty of usage despite his role as a reserve.
