Collins

[James lamphear]

that's glass half full. Glass half empty: he'll already be 24 when next season starts




ok....his career mark from three point range is 32.4%. Worse is his career mark on corner three's is only 34%. That is not an encouraging sign. I mean, Kent Bazemore has shot 38.4% on corner three's for his career and shot 40% his 2nd season. Al Farouq Aminu's career mark on corner's three's is 37.1% and he shot 38% in his 3rd season

he's not a good mid-range shooter either; under 29% in the 3-10' range and 33% in the 10-16' range

Zach can certainly improve on his perimeter shooting, but it's way too early to count that as a skillset

as for shot-blocking, his 3.1% career rate is ok but it's also nothing extraordinary. Robin Lopez has a 4% career mark and has posted 7 seasons better than Zach's best mark. And Lopez isn't some notable shot-blocker. Joel Przybilla had a 5.4% career mark and in his first 3 seasons his mark was over 7%

How many shot did he contests for misses yes block a shot is nice but I like a player that contest for a misses is there stat on that. Stats not everything it is a tool that a coach can look at but there other things you also have throw in there for a complete elavuation on a player.

Took Rudy 3/4 years to be consistent and earn more minutes.

I really wish Indy woulda taken those 3 first rounders.

How can anyone trust Collins to be of any help? He pretty much hasn't played in almost 3 years... or 2 years... I've lost track of years he hasn't been a factor for our team.

That's why you sign him to a team friendly prove it deal. He has potential. He's 24, not 34. Maybe he goes elsewhere for more money. But i got a feeling he wants to be in rip city, and will bet on himself finally staying healthy, proving he has ability, and get a bigger contract later.

the problem is he's definitely and Olshey guy, and Olshey's guys always get massively overpaid in the 2nd contracts

His body might as well be 34 lol.

Does your analysis consider that the vast expanse in three-point attempts could somehow affect block rates of a C/PF? I don't think so. Also, Portland is known for its great perimeter defense with McCollum and Lillard, so I imagine other teams probably were more willing to go into the paint considering the suffocating perimeter defense.

think again:

Block Percentage:
