During the press conference Friday, the 24-year-old talked about his mom, who apparently doubles as a scout.

"My mom, she’s got the notepads after every game. She’s taking notes and [says] ‘Let me know when you’re ready for me to go over this scouting report for this weekend.’ And I’m like, ‘Mom, I just watched film for four hours, I don’t want to see this.’"
McCollum also said his dad tells him to get his “handles like Kyrie [Irving]" and advises him to watch for backdoor cuts.
“That’s the type of family I have,” McCollum said.
This dynamic seems to have worked out for the NBA's Most Improved Player in 2016, who averaged 20.8 points for the No. 5-seeded Blazers.
