Christopher A. McCullough (born February 5, 1995) is an American professional basketball player for the Brooklyn Nets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Prior to attending Syracuse University, McCullough went to Salisbury School, Brewster Academy, and IMG Academy.
High school career
McCullough attended Salisbury School for his freshman and sophomore years. During his sophomore season, he led the Salisbury varsity basketball team to its first ever NEPSAC Class A championship. In the championship game, McCullough scored 26 points, while also adding eight rebounds and two blocked shots.[1] At Salisbury, McCullough was coached by Jeff Ruskin. Following his sophomore year at Salisbury, McCullough transferred to Brewster Academy and then, later on, to IMG Academy.
College career
As a freshman at Syracuse in 2014–15, McCullough started in the team's first 16 games of the season before a knee injury suffered against Florida State on January 11 required surgery and ended his campaign.[2] In those 16 games, he averaged 9.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.1 blocks in 28.1 minutes per game.[3][4]
Professional career
In April 2015, McCullough declared for the 2015 NBA draft, while still recovering from an ACL injury.[5][6] Despite that, on June 25, he was selected with the 29th overall pick by the Brooklyn Nets.[7] On July 1, he signed his rookie scale contract with the Nets.[8] He missed the first half of the 2015–16 season with the ACL injury he sustained as a freshman at Syracuse.[9] On February 5, 2016, he was activated for the first time, but did not play for the Nets against the Sacramento Kings.[10] Four days later, he made his NBA debut, recording 2 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block in just under 11 minutes off the bench in the Nets' 105–104 win over the Denver Nuggets.[11]
On April 6, 2016, McCullough scored 10 points against the Washington Wizards, reaching double-digits for the first time in his career. He was subsequently elevated to the starting line-up the following game, scoring 12 points on April 8 against the Charlotte Hornets.[12] In his third straight start for the Nets on April 11, he had another 12-point game in a loss to the Wizards.[13]
