Interesting to me that ET, Harkless, and Aminu are all listed at the exact same weight. .....220lbs.

I guess if Brandon Wright can be effective off the bench at 210 lbs then Collins can get some minutes at 230. He just looks so thin and weak right now. I do think he has the skills to warrant some limited minutes this year. But no doubt we need to be patient with him.

Collins has almost the exact same height and weight as Lamarcus when he entered the league. He'll be fine.

Those guys been lifting weights for a while and than been in league for awhile plus Collins never been put on weight and strength program. Most rookies that come out there freshman year are all weak. That why you properly won't see much this year from Collins.

Yeah he has lamarcus' rookie build. As far as game I see him developing into a Myles Turner type.

Way premature. Turner is 21. I'd rather have Turner today than LA is his prime. Turner could be a top-tier center if he keeps on his pace.

Not trying to knock Collins, as I'm a huge fan, but that's a pretty big leap. If that's where Collins ends up, we're golden.

What's funny about Turner is no one expected him to have the immediate impact he had because of some of the same concerns Zach is getting now regarding his play strength. Turner was considered a project.

Totes. Shocking. He has a shit-ton of potential. And like I said, I'd take him now, over any time we had LA. MT could end up being a once-in-a-generation center. He's super-inconsistent at the moment, but he's shown brilliant flashes of everything.

If anyone thought he'd be this good already, he'd have been a top-3 pick in his draft class based on his potential.
 
^That's why I think it's premature. I'm a HUGE Collins fan. But I love me some Turner. As much as I love Collins, I can't see him being on Turner's level this quickly.

WE GET IT YOU'RE BOTH SORRY
 
Collins is still young and still more of a project. His greatest strength is his defensive IQ and on other areas he still needs to grow, also maybe physically or in being more physical
 
Collins said he got elbowed in the jaw.

I knew his face was punchable, but elbowable too?
 
I am kind of worried about our backup SG. Can Jim Palmer do a good enough job? I guess we could play Turner there since it's not like Pat has high percentage shot.
 
I do appreciate that they are all different movies in the same franchise.

We need some shopped Fast and Furious covers too.

No, the one I posted before with Biggie is better.

I really hope that Swanigan can defend stretch fours because I would really like to see him and Nurkic in the game together. They both take up so much space and use their bodies well. The punishment would be epic, not to mention the passing would be great as well.
