Original author a F@#king idiot?! Obviously going off stats and hasn't watched the kid play. Stats may be dismal, but you can see the kid has a well rounded game, and is going to be good with a bit of experience and physical maturity.
I was always against the Collins pick, but that article is pretty ignorant. A 20 year old who plays good defense, has a good body and a good head on his shoulders can really improve parts of his game and become a valuable piece for a winning team. People who treat things like midrange shots or post moves as talent instead of acquired skill make me laugh.
Collins has toothpick legs. The bones won't thicken much, no matter how much calcium he drinks in his supplements. He'll play forward, not center. So the writer compared Collins to the wrong players.
The people who liked this post must not have read it through... I KNOW you're not talking about running the offense through him are you...?
So is triggered the new slang for we all think you're a clueless asshat? If so, consider me triggered. BNM
I want to troll him so bad, but he already must have a rough life, so I offer him hope for the future that he wises up.
Well, he did say "barring injury"... Still, it's funny he said something will never, ever happen, and then it happens the very next day. Collins has been getting PT lately anyway, so it's not unreasonable he would earn a start at some point during his 4-year rookie contract, and given the Blazers pending luxury tax situation, they are not about to trade him away while he is on his cheap rookie contract.

For the record, I liked the post, but not for that statement. For most everything else, which made sense.
Every fucking year some dumb ass makes a "bust" comment about a rookie and uses PER to help make his point. When are they going to learn that these rookies are not even close to a finished product. This article is beyond idiotic, but they have to write about something.
