Why the Heat should draft Wake Forest’s John Collins

Offensive Versatility

Few qualities are as enticing in a draft prospect than offensive versatility and when given the chance Collins showcased what he can offer in the NBA.

While Wake Forest predominately used Collins in the post, which he mastered effectively with his solid footwork and ability to get inside position despite not possessing overwhelming size, he shined in the pick and roll game.

In their profile of Collins, DraftExpress confirms that he was the most efficient scorer in the pick and roll in all of college producing 1.61 points per possession.

Not only is Collins a great screener but he has the fundamentals to know how to react to various defensive coverages. He can roll for a dunk, catch the lob or slip the screen altogether. Collins is agile, smooth and vicious at times when going to the rim and can finish with finesse or power.
