News Articles:
CJ McCollum led his team to a pair of Patriot League Championships (in 2009-10 and in 2011-12). He is known for his 30-point effort in Lehigh's 75-70 NCAA Tournament upset of Duke. He was selected in the lottery of the 2013 NBA Draft, going 10th overall to Portland as Lehigh's first-ever NBA Draft pick.
Coach Brett Reed on McCollum:
"I was so proud to be able to coach CJ because he embodied so many of the values that we embrace here at Lehigh. He was a selfless leader and despite scoring so many points, he always seemed to find a way to bring out the best in his teammates, encourage them and bring them along to perform at a high level. He embraced his work in the classroom and demonstrated a thirst for knowledge that continues even now as a very successful professional basketball player. CJ is taking the lessons that he learned in the classroom, and the skills that he built, and is involved in projects that a typical professional basketball player isn't even thinking about it until his career is done."
