John Collins 2018-19 Player Outlook
6 years agoAtlanta Hawks forward/center John Collins made a splash in his inaugural season in the NBA, earning him second team all-rookie last season. Collins even became the franchise leader in field goal percentage for a rookie. With a year under the belt, Collins is poised for a breakout. Collins averaged 10.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in just 24.1 minutes per game last season. If we take a look at his per-36 minutes numbers, Collins improves to 15.7 points, 10.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. Although Collins won’t likely play 36 minutes per game, the Hawks are still in development mode and Collins should get all the run he can handle. An average stat line of around 13.0 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game seems to be a reasonable expectation this year.
