McCollum showed off his prolific scoring ability when he dropped 30 in Lehigh’s win over the Blue Devils. He reminds some of former Duke killer Juan Dixon.

McCollum has a lot of buzz following such an impressive game, knocking out Duke. Blue Devil coaches were said to describe him as a first rounder following the loss.
