CJ McCollum Enters New Season Ready After Full Training Camp

As the oldest player on the Atlanta Hawks at age 35, CJ McCollum enters the new season benefiting from a full training camp after being acquired via a January trade last year. McCollum remains a primary offensive creator and earned praise from coach Quin Snyder for embracing a strong defensive mindset. While his closing lineup status could fluctuate depending on defensive needs, McCollum is expected to maintain a heavy impact and mentor rookie Kingston Flemings.
