When the Atlanta Hawks failed to sign John Collins to a rookie max extension, they opened the door for other teams to potentially sign Collins to a max deal in the coming offseason. This is why Dan Favale of B/R believes that Collins will be one of the top five overpaid free agents this offseason.

The other four likely to be overpaid are Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, Norman Powell, and Duncan Robinson. Each one of these players has desired skills that will help many teams in the NBA, but none of them have the skillset of Collins and therefore he will command huge offers.
