Collins gets to play PF with Maxi at C, so those would be like 20 minutes of Collins without Lively with him.
Collins and DLive would share court time together for 10 if you pencil in Collins at 30 minutes a game.
I think Collins gets his share of PNRs and would only be the corner shooter for 10 minutes a game.
This is assuming a healthy, effective Maxi. Unfortunately that has not been a safe bet in a while. Otherwise he is playing most of his minutes next to a P&R big. This is the same thing that happened with Wood. A lot of his effectiveness was predicated on being next to Maxi. It bums me out, but we can't count on Maxi for roster construction anymore.
