Two of the most prominent scorers in the 7DAYS EuroCup this season will go head-to-head on Wednesday when Will Cummings and Errick McCollum step on the floor in the French capital.
Major Matchup: Cummings, Metropolitans vs. McCollum, Lokomotiv
Cummings is playing against his former team in a sweet moment for him. He leads Boulogne Metropolitans 92 with 17.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.5 steals and 1.1 steals for a PIR of 19.5 in 11 appearances as a starter this season. On Sunday, he went for 35 points and 10 assists in the French League to lead Metropolitans to an overtime victory over Turkish Airlines EuroLeague side AS Monaco.

In his own words, this is the best that McCollum has played. He leads Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar - and the league - in scoring with 22.7 points, to which he adds 2.8 boards, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals. His average PIR of 24.5 also tops the rankings. He has earned three weekly MVP honors in the last six rounds, so there's no better moment for McCollum to be facing one of the best players in the league.
