Player A - 105 games in his career.

All said and done...Blazers made a clean break with Zach!
 
Why don't we trade all our first round picks since we have no use for them?
 
Im never cheering for a draft pick again. I thought zc would be awesome.

Don't beat yourself down. The Draft, especially in the One & Done Era, is a crapshoot like never before. Most of these guys just aren't ready. But i still see potential in him as a player. Just has to stay healthy. I hate the Spurs though. Not as much as the Lakers though.
 
What do the Spurs know to take such a gamble?

knowing our luck he’ll be healthy and a starting caliber player for years with the Spurs

Interesting to me they signed Collins. Eubanks has been looking like he could become something someday. Maybe they don't believe in him as much as I thought they might.

This doesn't mean olshey can't resign him. Zach this surgery was better then the first two. He has more movement in ankle then before. I don't know olshey will sign but he needs to consider it but depends on the doctor time line when he might be ready to play.

After all these surgeries and professional bench time could be emotional compromised and has lost faith in his self. He will always think of the next injury before it happens.

For a guy you claim isn't a bust you sure spend a lot of time making excuses for him. Does it occur to you that successful players don't need excuses?

"bust" to me is a high pick thats bad at bball

if someones injured, he cant be a bust... for example, markelle fultz is not bust, injury fucked up his career

i was right that someone will take a chance on zach collins, still to much potential in him... and look, it happened to be probably the best organization in the nba
 
Some names I mentioned last year and some new ones.

Winslow - if we want to addaking at the F spot and wing defense. However, his health is a huge issue.
Bjelica - had a bad year in Miami. But, has size, shoots well, is smart and can be a playmaker.
Shaq Harrison - Size and defensze, plus playmaking.
George Hill - big playmaker who can shoot, play defense and can allow Dame to play off the ball or makes it hard for opposing teams to trap Dame

Dieng wouldve been nice.

Imagine finding out he wasn’t actually still injured, it was just agent rumors because Stotts wouldn’t play him - so that Zach could control where he goes.

That behind the doors his relationship with Olshey/Stotts wasn’t great and that is why we didn’t make an offer.

Haha, that would be a nightmare and if Zach is going to be healthy and develop leave it to the San Antonio Spurs and Popovic.

Collins showed a lot of potential…
If he manages to stay healthy it could be tough…

He’s been atrocious.

Negative advanced numbers across the board - including a negative VORP.

Have you been watching his game or just looking at his stats? I been watching his games and been solid on defense after a couple games. Bam got 33 points in one game but he scored only 2 on Collins and plus he on minutes restrictions. His 36 per is 12/11 and his 100 possission is 109 and his dbmp -0.5. NBA.com got his offense rating 104 and his defense is 102.2. now offense a different story but he not putting a lot shots up and looks out sync a lot of times. But sitting good picks getting shooters open and actually doing good job on the offense boards. He also I believe is in the plus side in the plus minus category. But with continue not get consistent minutes at a time as effective his rythem on his shots. So let him get feet underneath him and see what he can do next year before you throw someone under the bus.

The problem for me is that I don't think he can stay healthy. I guess we will see.
 
OK, I can understand not actively hating the kid. Actively rooting for him? No way. I will grudgingly respect players on other teams - but I will never root for them.

Right now there pretty cautious with him he on minutes restrictions with around 16 minutes a game and no back to back. Except the last one due to 3 players out and then he only supposed to only get 15 minutes. It probably be like that the rest of the season. His defense been pretty good majority of the time but he still has a ways to go on offense. Just to many turnovers right now and thinking to much and maybe he just not use to the offense. But if his offense ever catch up with his defense he could be hell of a player but that's if.
