Scouting Report:
A big
point guard who excels on both ends of the floor.
Strengths:
Defense. Collins
is a superb defender coming out of a top notch defensive college
program. Long arms gets him lots of steals. His size is also an asset
running the point – both height and weight. Able to back smaller
defenders down and score in the post. Has been a good scorer all 4
years in college despite playing in a system that emphasizes defense
over offense. Very experienced and well coached player.
Weaknesses:
Not an off the chart athlete – decent hops. Outside shooting needs work
– doesn’t shoot behind the arc for a very high percentage. Also is a
weak free throw shooter.
Projected 2006 Draft
Range:
Late first round pick.
Consensus:
Collins size,
strong point guard skills, defense and all around solid game will keep
him in the League for quite a while. His stock is definitely on
the rise considering many of the other top point guard prospects this
year have been disappointments.
