Chris McCullough is an interesting player. The Nets drafted McCullough 29th overall in last year’s NBA draft. Considered a lottery pick for his draft class, McCullough slipped to a late first round pick after he tore his ACL at Syracuse. He returned late last season for Brooklyn, and averaged 15.1 minutes per game in the 24 games he played. It was a very small sample of McCullough. At 21 years old and a full offseason to rest his body, McCullough could have a breakout year. McCullough was picked by the Nets because of the potential he had. This season, we will get to see just how much he has to offer.
