    Long athletic white guy with a slow release that is raw and needs to develop. I'm just going off of draft express.

    True, but Dame is the leader, he is the one who tries to get the best out of the teammates, sometimes it just doesn't happen because they aren't good. Sometimes playing the same position doesn't always matter.

    Loved that "Hood Adjacent" commercial. That looks funny.

    Unlike Meyers, Collins appears to not shy away from contact, on either end. Has better post moves and the fact he fouls so much shows how physical he’ll get on defense. I think his lateral movement is better than Meyers. I think the release on his shot is quicker than Meyers. And I think it'd be hard to not have a higher basketball IQ than Leonard as well.

    6 picks to go, but Collins is gone. Harry and OG still on the table. C'mon, guys, start taking some furriners.

    It looks like there will be a good player available there.

    More importantly...Collins keeps his eyes open when playing under the hoop...Meyers closes his

    I'm just waiting for @MediocreMan to find out that we're picking Tyler Lydon from Syracuse. White forward stuck between the 3 and 4 who needs to add strength and is weak defensively. ;)

    His shot looks slow but it isn't. He brings the ball up slow but it doesn't have to travel far to get to his set point, as he brings it up close to his body. His set point is high than Meyers' so it's easier to get off.

    Why is white guy in your analysis though? That's bullshit. Every big man is "long"....

    So basically his slow appearing release, the fact that he's "athletic", and the fact that he's 19 (and needs to develop) means he's like Leonard?

    Collins' athleticism transfers to basketball. Meyers doesn't. Collins is ready to play right way, Leonard wasn't.

    Go and look at draft night when we drafted meyers. But hey, let's see, maybe he turns out to be a quality NBA starter

    Of course they take the chance to talk about Ball to a guy who just got drafted.

    Can not wait until ESPN crumbles. Pathetic.
