While the Trail Blazers going 3-0 certainly helped @3jmccollum win Western Conference Player of the Week for the first time in his career, his slump-breaking performance last week might have very well come down to two variables: words and wrists.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First, the wrists. After struggling from the field in the first few weeks of the 2018-19 regular season, McCollum went back and watched every three-pointer he took off the dribble last season to see if he was doing something different that was adversely effecting his shot. What he found was that he hadn’t been adequately snapping his wrist.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“The only thing I noticed watching film is I was missing a lot of in-and-outs,” said McCollum. “I was shooting with a dead wrist, which is weird, don’t know why I was doing that. I wasn’t locking it out. I watched all my threes off the dribble from last season last night and that was the only difference I noticed, I wasn’t locking my wrist out. So I just tried to lock it out (versus Milwaukee).”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The result was McCollum having his best game of the season, going 17-of-26 from the field and 5-of-10 from three for 40 points in 36 minutes in Portland’s 118-103 victory versus the Bucks on November 6

Then there’s the words. While it’s common for some players to say they don’t pay attention what is being written and or said about them (even though most actually do) McCollum readily admits that he reads his clippings. So when he noticed an increase in those questioning his skills, a trend that had been on a steady increase since the Blazers were swept out of the first round last season, McCollum used it as motivation and an excuse to spend more time in both the gym and film room.

“I always (get more work in), especially when I’m shooting 34 percent from three and people start writing articles about how I’m not playing well,” said McCollum. “I just work on my craft, I think that’s the biggest thing that I pride myself on is preparing. Whether I play well or not, I know how much time I spend preparing, watching film, breaking down how I can be effective.”
