Christian James McCollum (born September 19, 1991) is an American professional basketball player for the Portland Trail Blazers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). During his third year in the league in 2015–16, he was named the NBA Most Improved Player.\n', '

McCollum played college basketball for the Lehigh Mountain Hawks, and was the Patriot League Men\'s Basketball Player of the Year in both 2010 and 2012. He was selected by Portland with the 10th overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft. After two seasons as a reserve, he became a full-time starter for the Trail Blazers, after making the decision to move to shooting guard.\n', '

McCollum was greatly undersized as a freshman at GlenOak High School in Canton, Ohio in 2005, standing just 5 feet 2 inches tall. However, he was the beneficiary of a late growth spurt, gaining 5 inches in height by the beginning of his second season and another 4 inches by the start of his junior year — enough size to put him on the radar for college recruitment. In the first game of his junior year, McCollum scored 54 points to set the school\'s new single game scoring record.\n', '
