Impact While McCollum was responsible for six of New Orleans' 15 turnovers, he carried the team offensively with his highest-scoring game of the entire season. McCollum's 11 boards also established a new season high, as did his 15 made field goals. The trade deadline acquisition is off to a solid start for the Pelicans, though they're 0-2 since adding him.

It could take a few games to get comfortable in his new offense, but McCollum does have the supporting cast in New Orleans to thrive once he's settled in.
