What was it again? 103 minutes into his NBA career and his ceiling is a big with no weaknesses? Limitless?
Lmao, so you'll tend to side with the East Coast BR writer that has no respect for Portland Basketball and has caught one game? And this is funny conning from the dude blinded by skin color
I wouldnt say limitless but I would say he has the potential to have 0 weaknesses. Can shoot 3s, post up, and face up. Can protect the rim as a 7 footer but can also slide his feet. Has shown flashes of being a very good passer and rebounder. Has great fundamentals and footwork. Seems to have a good mentality and confidence about him. What about him is likely to remain a weakness?
I'm just going to say it, but Zach has a bit of Anthony Davis in his game. Like Davis when he was young and team oriented and hadn't yet realized that he could score at will. That is high praise, but I'll tone it down by saying that Zach has the potential of a poor man's Anthony Davis, which is still something to care about.
Im not siding with anyone. My original statement was fans don't like non fluff pieces. Then stated he wasn't THAT off base assuminh he wrote the article a few games back. He hadn't really shown a lot.
Doesn't every single player after 103 minutes have the potential for 0 weaknesses? Per 100 possessions Fg% .388 3pt% .353 Ft% .417 Rpg 11.1 Apg 2.7 Spg 0.9 Bpg 2.0 Topg 3.4 Fouls pg 8.6 Ppg 14.3 O rating 87 D rating 103 Fg% .545 3pt% .429 Ft% .809 Rpg 11.1 Apg 1.4 Spg 0.5 Bpg 1.7 Topg 2.1 Fouls pg 7.3 Ppg 16.4 0 rating 115 D rating 110 Fairly equal rookie seasons. 1 might be a big with 0 weaknesses, the other is Meyers Leonard. I'm just saying, maybe people are a bit premature to anoint Collins the next great bit. He looks good. Usually in the right place, but it's early
No. Swanigan, for example, had height, athleticism, and foot speed weaknesses from the beginning, and those were never going to be eliminated.
Davis was even skinnier than Zach when he came into the league. From a physical stand point that’s a great reference for Zach.
Collins is closer to KAT than Davis in terms of physical attributes. I think you guys are letting defensive capabilities cloud your comparison vision a bit. Zach is closer to Davis in that respect, and while very mobile, I don't see much similarity in the athleticism.
Zach is a young defensive talent with potential for becoming a much better player with his footwork, ability around the hoop and his work ethic. He will grow physically into his body over the next 3 to 4 years. He'll be fine.
If Zack reaches his potential, there are going to be quite a few teams that drafted above Portland that are going to regret passing on him. Could start with Philadelphia or LA.
