NBA All-Star Game 2020: Predicting the snubs from Western Conference

#2 CJ McCollum

For all we know, McCollum has hit his ceiling

In his 7th season playing for the Portland Trail Blazers, CJ McCollum is still searching for the first All-Star berth of his career. And by the look of things, it is highly likely that he might have to wait another year to be a part of the coveted squad.

CJ is averaging 22.4 points per game, on 46% shooting from the field, making this his fifth straight year of scoring 20+ ppg. However, it cannot be left unnoticed that his offensive prowess has seen no notable improvement over the past season. It seems as though the 28-year-old shooting guard is not able to break free for a monstrous run, and is settling into an abyss of being a 'good basketball player' with every passing year.

He is taking almost 20 shots per game, and playing 37 minutes on average, but his impact on the court has never reached an All-Star level as one would've projected. Moreover, he is quickly turning into one half of a dynamic backcourt duo, rather than making an impression for himself.
