    Hi back and look at Kevin when he was Collins age. Sure he has wide shoulders but he and ZMan way nearly same. McHakes shoulders were wide.
    When McHake was a college sophomore he had a small head for his size thus making his square shoulders look even broader.

    KM after 4 years of college - 6'10 - 210lbs
    ZC - 7' -230 Now 6'11 250lbs

    Zach would be a senior this year....

    ZMan reminds me of Zima. Not a fan of the nickname.

    As for your mental comparison, they were very different. McHale was smiling and garrulous to the media, which helped him to become a head coach. Collins talks tough, which attracts fans.

    Collins weighs 250? Says who, Mike Rice? Try 215.

    I doubt that McHale's head grew between age 19 and 22, as you claim. In the pros he had a wide head, maybe embellished by the hairstyles of the day.

    The NBA draft combine should measure this stat. Also the ears of Popeye Jones and Boban Marjanović.
