Zach Collins and his return to the Blazers: ‘I’m definitely not rushing back’

Why is this loser still on the team?

 

A lot people down on Zach but we don't know what he would have brought this if he was healthy. Even though Zach has improved every year this could been coming out party especially on defense maybe not offense due to our fowards majority of nights don't get the opportunity to score.

 

As a blazer fan move on from him. He’s useless. Bam was the pick we neeeded but Olshey blew that

 

Stop regretting the past. It is done.

We have Zach. We can root for what is, not lament what could have been.

I don't think Zach will be a star but I think he can be a great contributing player and would likely improve our overall team due to his intensity and no-BS attitude.

 

He's not useless. Good rotation big on a cheap contract next year who's still young... Moving on from him for nothing gains nothing. Keeping him loses nothing.

 

Zag homer

 

Just wait until Chet Holmgren hits the scene. A guy actually worth tanking for.

 

Unless he comes to Portland. He is a tall guy after-all and we all know how tall guys fare health-wise in Portland.

 

So next season then?

 

I just hope Zach gets healthy. He will prove a lot of nay-sayers wrong if he does.

 

I honestly forgot he was on the team. He's literally done nothing for us. Lol.

 

He didn't do much for us before he got injured.

 

Blazers need to trade zach and cj this offseason

 

Cash considerations didn't do much for us last time.... we should probably just keep Zach then.

 

If haven't broke down Zach game I mean really break down his game you might change your mind. But just watching the game and only time you even regonize when he made a mistake. Zach does a lot good thing on the court they made be little things but it leads into something good. I don't know how many good picks that Dame and CJ got wide open shots but you guys remember the shot not the good pick. By keeping the ball alive to get a open shot and you remember the shot but not the player that made that happened. Defensely he is one best we got due remember the Denver series you remember the clutch basket by CJ but don't remember the defense that Zach play for us to be in that situation to get the win. All I am saying know what your talking about a player before you slam him. None of us know if Zach was healthy this year how well he would play not and not you.

 

That's fine for a dude you draft in the late first round, but not for a top 10 pick. We could have had Donovan Mitchell, Bam Adebayo or John Collins.

 

josh jackson @#4, frank ntilikina @#8, & dennis smith,jr @#9 all taken ahead of collins are just as disapointing to there respective teams. at least IMHO, collins' defense not only passes the eye test, but the aforementioned picks, and improved 3pt% he showed pre injury from a 4-5, are reasons to re-sign him.

 

That just means those organizations are typically horrible at drafting as well. Dallas lucked into Luka.

 

I feel that it is more of an example of how big a crapshoot the draft is in most years outside of the top 2-3 picks.
edit: one could easily argue how disapointing markelle fultz @#1, and lonzo ball @#2 have been considering draft position/injuries.
