Part of the sales job to keep it from being amoving screen offensive foul is to fall down. WCS didn't even see him and just ran over him. Collins got enough separation for the lob pass if Huerter had tried it. I doubt Collins would have missed.
It is explained in detail here. The main idea was to get the ball to Young. Of course lob to Collins is an option, but it is a risky play. If Young wouldn't be open, Gallo is a third option. Pretty good play, though. Luckily Trae was trucked over in a 50-50 situation, refs smartly stayed quiet and Gallo couldn't convert.
