John Collins has already made incredible strides with his game and one of the best things about that is he remains just 19 years old and will not turn 20 until September.
It only took him two years at Wake Forest to turn into one of the best big men in the country and he comes into this draft as one of its youngest prospects with projected top pick Markelle Fultz coming in as the youngest (Ball, Jayson Tatum, De’Aaron Fox, Dennis Smith Jr. and Malik Monk are also 19) in the entire draft.
Collins has a wealth of untapped talent left and a number of formative years ahead of him. The Heat, who have developed young talent like Whiteside, Rodney McGruder, Tyler Johnson and more, can do the same with Collins who has not only shown signs of elite talent but also already improved his game with the immense jump from freshman to sophomore year.
