    He needs to get stronger and get a different hair style.

    No argument here. He's definitely on his way. It's in his dna.

    At least he's not immediately threatened by the loss of his hair and then one day decides to cut it all off as some sort of shock "FU" to nature. I got a couple of friends who did that. Now instead of looking like they are growing old gracefully, they look like a couple of shaved monkey nut sacks.

    There is no "growing old gracefully". As for hair - it's like, would you like a lawn with long grass but huge barren patches, or would you like one mowed short so the mange is less visible?

    Who the hell wants to grow old gracefully? I don't. But not everybody's noggin is shaped the same. You should at least go.... "The lack of hair is a problem but maybe I should think about the topographical terrain before I cut the trees down."

    I think Collins is going to be LMA 2.0 minus the bitchness.

    I can see that. I see a better defender, but much worse at creating his own shot.

    Let's hope. Although you never can tell though. When the Blazers drafted Aldridge most everyone was super high on him too.

    Kind of similar actually but different variations. Collins will probably be good on offense, but will get his on put backs, cuts to the basket, transition, and open 3's. He won't be a guy that you throw it to on the block to start your offense. I think he will be a better defender than LMA though. So overall he could have the same impact, just in different ways.

    Or like you said, "So not LMA lol".

    Have you seen his post moves? He's definitely a guy you throw it down to him on the block and clear out.

    I haven't really seen him look comfortable in that situation. Feel free to share a vid. I love being wrong about shit like this.

    I've seen him make some really crafty, athletic moves and I've seen him get stonewalled. With his feet I think he can develop into a go to guy but yeah I don't think he's anywhere near there right now
