“I have two sides to my brain: one says average 30 points a night and the other side is trying to humble myself and realize it takes a lot of time to reach where these elite-level players are at. It kinda creates this middle ground where I’ve been playing.”

I love the mindset. Keep at it John!

He's going to be a real problem for opposing teams once he gets stronger and more confident in his jumper. Even on here, I don't think he gets enough credit for how talented he actually is. He should have a lot more freedom next season to show what he's capable of.

I say let the beast run free next season. This kid is Shawn Kemp 2.0. He was wiry strong as a Rookie and will be much stronger next season. With his desire to mix it up inside, he will be a monster in the post. He also added the 3 pointer late in the season and I expect continued improvement there as well. I think he's going to really blow up next season. I don't think him averaging a double double next season is out of the question.

Give Collins an elite PnR passer (Doncic, Trae Young) and he becomes a 20-10 beast.

He definitely going to need a PnR passer. He doesn't create his own offense that well. He really plays like Shawn Kemp with more range as a rookie

This 20-10 thing. JC is already pretty much there and as a sophomore in the league too. Think just maybe Trae has helped made a difference with that stuff.
