    6.3/5.7/2 blks 27% shooting
    5.0/7.7/2.7 blks 63% shooting

    One is gonna be just fine. The other will struggle against real NBA players.

    Honestly, the sample size and quality is not enough to have any worthwhile conclusions.

    Because I haven't even been in that thread yet, I think. I am also not getting excited about Swanigan too early, I realize he will find it much tougher to repeat these numbers against NBA competition. He has some qualities that should translate well but he will find it tough too.

    Yea it would be Bell because he properly won't get off the bench he does play for the defending champion. Collins will be alright he needs to get stronger and he might sit at first until he gets adjusted to the rigors of the NBA. But due to he already play decent defense he should sniff the floor pretty quick.

    Any player who plays heavily in a zone scheme in college, has had questions about his defensively ability coming out of college. Regardless of their combine numbers.
    But for some reasons this board has no question that Bell is going to be first team all defense.
    Bell might be good, might be bad. But people should pump the breaks on calling him the next draymon green. Simply because he's coming from a school that allowed Bell to play in a 2-1-2 and 2-3 for the majority of their games. Matchup or not it should put a question mark on Bell.

    I think Bell will be a good hustle guy and play good defense. Collins has a much higher ceiling though.

    So half the players? Most college teams use a zone to some extent. Regardless, even as a huge Duck fan, I agree he is no Draymond Green and have said that numerous times over the last few months. He will be an energy guy off the bench. Every team needs those.

    I was honestly surprised we didn't do something to get a second round pick, to pick him up. I guess the Blazers think they have plenty of PF prospects already.

    I'm glad they are out. ZCollins learned what he needs to work on the rest of summer and to me that is the only point to Summer League. Just hope Biggie doesn't get hurt, although that is harder to imagine.

    I think Biggie only gets hurt if someone out-works him. That's why the team has a psychologist on call.

    It's worse than that:


    At least now we'll have a PG starting? Doesn't really matter now, though :(
