Collins is much more athletic and has a better base skill level.  He has at least shown the ability to hit the corner three.

Randle is a Center in a power forward body.  

Sorry KB.  This guy has played so well in these last 30 games, that there's no way you can deny his talent.  And it doesn't matter the opponent.

Collins can't do this . . . yet.

nah. You can piece together a highlight reel that makes James harden look like  a candidate for defensive player of the year. its about what you normally do play to play. 

I agree mostly but some plays on a highlight reel tell a lot.  I’ve ragged on James as much as anybody but he’s actually a solid overall defender for his career, excels in the post.  It’s just that “great” defensive players don’t ever make the Shaqtin a Fool reel like he did in past years.  By that same token, a “bad” defensive player cannot and will not make many of the plays in North’s highlight reel of Randle.  Who rips the ball from Embiid in the post late in the fourth?  Normally your 2 options are give up 1-3 points or send a double.

Collins is not as skilled or more skilled than Randle. Collins is a different type of player. But both are those two corner bigs that you have to build around to play them. I rather them as 6th man.
