If it’s Summer League Hype Train season I think it’s officially time to get John Collins some burn. He didn’t take any threes last year in college but he was like the most productive per minute guy in the draft and yesterday he dunked on a fast break from the circle with his head at the rim. The scouting report made no mention of elite athleticism, but after I saw that video I went to draftexpress and noticed the 8'11" standing reach with a 37.5" vertical. For reference, Blake had an 8'9" standing reach and a 35.5" vertical. Collins is in young Dwight Howard territory with that max touch. Maybe he doesn’t need to take any threes
