I don't think Collins would help. I think he's overrated and just the wrong type of guy, in general.
Depends. If you mean DFS's role as the 4, then sure.
Because O-Max is the future of the 4 position on this team. That's my bet, anyway. I think if we look back after about ten years of his career, it's possible he has played more small ball 5 at that point than he has played 3. That part is just a guess, though. He can definitely play some 3 for now, while he's young.
He is PROTOTYPICALLY what I'd look for in a 4, however. Just a marvelous piece of the puzzle. He reminds me of Jerami Grant before he decided he needed to be a featured offensive player. Actually, O-Max might even be bigger/stronger/longer, but with the same quickness. I'm REALLY excited about his future.
Gotcha, I think there was definitely some overrating of Collins' in previous years (I had been guilty at times although I mostly saw him as a C Wood replacement that maybe Kidd would find more playable and not much more than that), I guess I just thought this last conversation was rating him a little more properly. I just didn't get the vibes that anyone here saw him as a savior or anything, just a potential piece to talk about, but maybe that was just the mentality I was bringing to the convo and I missed the noise around me.
Agreed on all the OMax points. Hope the kid pans out.
