I know Collins has been discussed ad nauseam but doesn't the book read offense-first tweener who is average to slightly below average defensively and doesn't create for himself or others? Not quick enough to guard wings and not big enough to defend bigs? A slight or maybe significant downgrade from Wood offensively for a slight upgrade defensively?
Istok lumps Collins with Wood, Randle, KP and the guy I've mentioned as Wood's realistic comp: Bobby Portis. Might as well also include Wolves third stringer Naz Reid.
With KP a 7-foot exception, that's a bunch of 6' 9" guys who score but don't defend.
I don't understand why you trade Wood for Collins unless someone just has that archetype as the ideal guy to play next to Luka. Of course, that begs the question, what do you do with DFS? And who plays center?
