From the Portland Trail Blazers to the New Orleans Pelicans, CJ McCollum is one of the low-key but powerful shooters in the league. McCollum's singles strength is always overly underestimated. He has a textbook-level shooting posture and is good at mid-to-long distances. Shooting, his career three-point shooting percentage is close to 40%, and his scoring average has never been less than 20 points per game since the third season of his career. He is definitely one of the most powerful shooting guards today.
