I'm surprised there's so many folks who are anti Collins from a bball standpoint. I would think that the last few games would show the benefits of having more size on the floor. Right now the concern is that the size we're throwing out there with Exum/OMax and even DJJ may not be steady enough shooters when the games tighten up later in the season and Collins mitigates some of those issues. The defense would certainly be something to watch out for with him at the 4 but I gotta say he played great defense both at the 4 and the 5 during the Hawks conference finals run so he certainly seems to have it in him when it matters.
Having said that, the concerns around the contract and what that would do to our flexibility moving forward are big enough concerns for me to totally be out on him.
