In the summer of 2005, Mackler, who was only 1.58 meters tall, entered Glenoak High School. When he told others that he would join the school team, many people thought he was joking. After all, his height was lower than that of many girls his age. The most important thing is that basketball is extremely strict about height. No matter how skilled his personal skills are, he will still feel powerless in the face of absolute height advantage.
However, when McCoram showed everyone his gorgeous dribbling and accurate shooting, all the onlookers were dumbfounded. Maybe he is a representative of talent and lack of skills. In the end, mccollum was admitted to the school team by virtue of his excellent personal ability.
He also knows the importance of height for this sport, so he trains himself crazily in the following time. He spent almost all his time on the training ground except sleeping.
Many things happen. In the following two years, mccollum grew to 1.8 meters. After narrowing the height gap with others, mccollum fully demonstrated his offensive talent. In a game of senior three, Mackler scored 54 points, which directly broke the school history record. In the third year of high school, Mackler, who had grown to 1 m and 9 1, averaged 29.3 points and won the Ohio High School Award of the Year. Throughout the four years of high school, mccollum became the school history scoring champion with the score of 1.405.
I thought that mccollum, who performed well in high school, could be snapped up by many NCAA elite schools. However, reality poured cold water on him. Except for some unknown small colleges, mccollum has not received any invitations from famous basketball schools. No way, depressed mccollum chose a little-known Caspian University.
Caspian University: Although the basketball team of this university has a history of 765,438+0 years, they have only scored three NCAA tournaments, and they have never won a game in the tournament, and the players have never played in the NBA. Their tragic journey seems to be cursed.
I have never won a championship, so let me lead Caspian University to win. No player has been selected by the NBA, so let me break this zero record. Thought of here, mccollum is full of strength and hope.
In his first season at Caspian University, Mackler became the main scorer of the school team. Average 19. 1 point, 5 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 33 games.
In the following time, mccollum has been growing.

With his excellent college career, mccollum became the darling of the 20 13 draft. After layers of competition, Stern finally announced that the Portland Trailblazers had selected C.J. mccollum from Caspian University in the first round 10.
Because of Matthews and mo williams, mccollum didn't get many playing opportunities in his rookie season. Even so, mccollum put on many wonderful performances in a limited time. At the end of the regular season, mccollum still got 5.3 points 1.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists even though he averaged only 1.2 minutes.
In the 201415 season, mccollum still sat on the sidelines most of the time. This situation lasted until April of 20 15. Because Matthews was accidentally injured in a game, which led to the reimbursement of the season, mccollum in the same position was temporarily promoted to the starting position by the head coach.

He can easily tear open the opponent's defense with superb ball control and super rhythm, and take his shot calmly after getting the chance to shoot. His scoring points are all over the half-court, and the defender can't completely lock him because his singles and pick-and-roll efficiency are too high. He is extremely confident on the court and can calmly make the right decision even at the critical moment.
This year, mccollum gave full play to himself. In an average playing time of 34.7 minutes, mccollum can get 20.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.3 assists.
