John Collins Resting To Close Preseason
7 months agoUtah Jazz forward John Collins (rest) is not going to play in Thursday's preseason finale versus the Sacramento Kings. Collins' nondescript preseason didn't exactly help or hurt his fantasy stock during his first look in new digs, averaging 8.0 points on 57.1% shooting, 3.8 rebounds, and 0.8 three-pointers in 19.6 minutes. The dynamic 26-year-old has witnessed his numbers steadily dwindle in each of the last three years, and the Atlanta Hawks were even willing to part ways with Collins for a future second-rounder this past offseason. Collins could eventually find a spark in Salt Lake City, but he could get off to slow start until he gets fully acclimated. The former first-round pick probably shouldn't be drafted inside the top 100 in most competitive leagues. 2023 first-rounder Taylor Hendricks should pick up extra minutes on Thursday, as well as Simone Fontecchio.
