Hello All,
For my first post I decided I would respond to a blog that I read daily, Blazer’s Edge (BE). The blog follows the Portland Trail Blazers, a team in the National Basketball Association (NBA). BE writes about Blazer activity as well as general discussion about the NBA. The most recent article I read is about C.J. McCollum, rookie and number 10 pick in the 2013 NBA draft. McCollum recently broke a bone in his foot during a team practice. The blog post doesn’t go into much detail about the consequences the injury could have on McCollum’s rookie season. However, he was considered by some to be a favorite to win rookie of the year. Missing the first couple months of the season essentially erases any chance he had to win the award. It will also hurt the Blazers talent depth as McCollum was slated to play a supportive role coming off of the bench. As the BE posts points out, the bone he broke in his foot is the same one he broke in his senior year of college, hopefully this will not become a recurring injury that hampers McCollum throughout his NBA career. A link for the article is included below.
Go Blazers,
-Sam
