Not a fan of McCollum in Portland either. Glad to see someone else thinks that. I think Portland didn't want McCollum either but had no choice as they couldn't trade up/out. He'll be an okay fit in Portland but Shabazz would've been a better fit. The Blazers needed an aggressive scorer like Shabazz to get rid of their "soft", jump shooting label (something not prevalent now but a label that will come to fruition years down the road).

Also, Otto Porter will likely be Rookie of the Year.
