    Watching Zach Collins, I am trying to understand who he can be. So far, he reminds me of Tom Chambers, which ain't a bad thing at all. But I know there has to be a better comparison.

    So who is it?

    His footwork reminds me a lot of a young McHale as well as his high BBIQ

    Too early to tell. I think he can be something special though.

    I loved seeing him with Nurk. You’re not getting jack shit inside with those two defending.

    Young Kevin McHale. That's good - in more ways than one!

    What happened to folks bashing Olshey for drafting Meyers 2.0?

    Chambers was an explosive leaper and an athlete, Collins isn't.

    Collins is Big.
    Collins has very strong Fundamentals.
    Remind you of anyone?

    OK, I am loathe to compare him to Tim Duncan because some will freak out.
    Collins isn't obviously on a HOF trajectory, and he is also not black. TD also
    played 4 years.

    Nevertheless, Collins is good for the same reasons TD was.

    Demeanor, BBIQ and fundamentals are vaguely reminiscent of Duncan. Long ways to go but here’s hoping he’s even a poor man’s Big Vanilla Fundamemtal.

    As soon as I saw this topic, Tom Chambers was who came to mind, even before I saw the initial post.
