I am a little hesitant about that pairing, however, seeing as neither of them is really a plus defender. Both of them might look a lot worse defensively (if that’s possible for KP) playing next to the other.
But yes, Collins is the 4 on both ends, so that works, and on offense, the two would be interchangeable at the 4 and 5. Switching who does the Kleber and who does the Powell at will, depending on matchups, presumably.
At the end of the day, Collins is securely in the category of “too talented for me to care enough about his fit to talk myself out of adding him if I get the chance.” We all agree that this roster simply needs more talent, overall, so if he’s your best chance to add that talent you have to take it.
Is he? He is not a particularly good defender. He does not create for others. Does he create for himself? As far as I can tell, he is a good shooter and a very good rim runner. Is that worth the max, and an asset, and ignorance of fit?
