John Collins...Our Third Star

Is Markkannen a good rebounder? Can he rim roll? Does he set good screens?

I'd say he's a passable rebounder. He's not elite, but he isn't terrible. His TRB% would rank him around top 30 in the league. When he got starter minutes e averaged 9.0rpg

He can certainly rim roll looking at college/Bulls film. It's just that CHI doesn't really use him that way at all though. He ran the PnR 11% of the time this year in CHI which is pitifully low. He ranked in the 34th percentile. In fact in almost all of Markkannen's seasons with the Bulls the most he's ever run the PnR was about 15% of the time. But flashback to when he got starter minutes he was in the 55th percentile (close to WCS this year at 63rd). 

Needless to say I think CHI is misusing him big time there and that'd certainly change in Dallas.

Regarding screens he sets okay screens. In highlights/lowlights he does have a tendency to slip them and drift out, but again he barely runs the PnR. So a question mark.

After watching JC those 2 playoff games and off and on in the regular season, I'd put him and Markkannen pretty damn close to each other. I think Collins is a better finisher around the rim/roller. But Markkannen is hands down a better shooter. The major difference between them is that 1 is possibly available in a JRich SnT and the other is seeking a 4 year max deal. I think it's a no brainer which one the Mavs should prioritize if they're looking for that position.
