    Lonny Baxter won MVP at least once. Maybe twice. Lots of guys looked great and didn't pan out.

    Josh McRoberts did pan out somewhat, but it took a few years. He looked great in summer league.

    Zack Collins measured 6'10.25 at the combine
    John Collins measured 6'8.25 at the combine
    Draymond Green measured 6'5.75 at the combine

    All three are now NBA 4s. Green is arguably the best 4 currently playing and was just honored as the DPOTY despite being a 2nd round selection. While we're all PTB fans here and hope for the best for our rooting interest, there is nothing definite about which Collins might blossom in the league or even if Zach can gain 20 lbs.

    I didn't say that the thread was trolling.

    The towel waving white guy taking Meyers place on the end of the bench was a trolling comment. That comment was made off of what, 2 summer league games?

    John Collins is physically developed - he wont get much bigger than he is already.

    Zach Collins is nowhere near his physical development potential.

    I was on both bandwagons from the getgo - you take Zach over John 10 times out of 10.

    I have to admit though - John is looking a lot like a young Blake Griffin in Vegas!
