    I know, I know. It's only summer league, but John Collins had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Hawks tonight and looked pretty darn good. He was a guy we passed on to take Zach Collins.

    Here's hoping that time will prove we made the right pick.

    It depends did you want scoring or defense?

    INB4 Someone says it's because John Collins has a true PG

    That name is far too close to John Canzano.

    John Collins- Bourbon, Lemon juice and simple syrup on ice.
    Zach Attack- Tequila, Vodka, sour juice, Tabasco in shot glass. Drop in a blackberry.

    You decide?

    It's also worth noting that John Collins was taken at #19, which means we could have gotten him at #15 and kept our pick at #20.

    It should also be mentioned that Qyntel Woods and Jerryd Bayless both looked like all stars in summer league

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    There's no way to know for several years. I prefer Zach Collins at this point.

    Yeah, once we trade Meyers we need Collins to be our lottery big man designated towel waver on the bench.

    You need to give Collins a chance how can you elevaluate someone on 4 practices and summer league met more for guards and wings. Plus we got the worst guards to set up post players in the whole summer league.

    We definitely picked the right guy... undersized PF like John Collins that can't shoot and don't play defense are a dime a dozen... maybe he will have a long career but his upside is limited. Zach Collins is a rare bread... 7' with elite defensive instincts and can hit the 3... he is 20 lbs and some experience away from being a star

    It's nit trolling it was a redpectfully asked question. Our Collins has looked less than good so far. Doesn't mean he won't be all NBA in a few years. It's just an observation from what we have all seen. John Collins looked amazing. Why is it trolling to ask?

    Well I for one am pissed that the team didn't draft Tatum. Or Taytum, however you spell his name. Damn you Olshey!

    I knew that after 2 games in the summer league we would see that Collins is a 100% irreversible bust!

    WHO IS WITH ME! OFF WITH HIS HEAD! DOWN GOES FRAISER!
