Aaron Gordon looked great last night.
I get this team wants shooters...but his size and the defense he showed last night seem hard to find. I dont watch Collins...but when I do he never jumps off the screen at me. I get that Gordon is inconsistent at shooting and Collins can shoot the 3 and score around the basket...but can he play defense like Gordon? Maybe he blocks shots here and there.
I'll give Collins the benefit of not liking his situation supposedly. Last time I watched a Hawks game(like a week ago) against a good opponent...Collins seemed uninterested. Young wasnt giving him touches on offense which I am sure can make you not play as hard.
I guess what I am getting at is Gordon, with his shooting flaws, seems like a serious defender. Can guard 1-5. Also...he was cutting and backdoor slashing last night and Jokic was finding him. Im sure Luka could lob to him or find him cutting. I know this team wants shooters...but that size and defense. Collins just never jumps off the screen at me. Im sure advanced stats love the guy...he is probably efficient offensively and blocks shots here and there. Maybe its Collins situation and when he gets to a team he likes he turns it up.
Im just meh on Collins for some reason and dont want another Powell situation. I guess I need to watch him more.
