Found this there pretty quickly:
"The thing is JC would probably have to play the same role on majority of teams because even though he’s been great at help defense and scoring in the low post, he still would be too little to play the 5 even though offensively playing Center fits him like a glove because he’s great at PnR. Still, teams would need him to be a stretch 4 and trading valuable guys for one who shoots 21% from the 3 rn and making 25Ms is not ideal."
I kind of agree with this. I'm a little worried that the best of Collins comes in the form of a smaller center, which doesn't appear to align with Kidd's plans. I honestly think the best course might be to keep Wood and try to play him in a smarter way. It might not work, but I'm not sure it comes with much more risk than Collins if they try to use him the way they're using Wood.
