Report: John Collins, growing “increasingly frustrated” with his role in Atlanta, a fit for potential Ben Simmons trade

The Atlanta Hawks continue to struggle this season, and as the trade deadline approaches, buzz about what potential changes are to come are beginning to hit the surface. Monday morning, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that forward John Collins has “grown increasingly frustrated” with his role in Atlanta and “often times has felt his voice unheard” amid the Hawks’ struggles this season.

Collins has seen his shot attempts per game decrease and usage rate decrease each of the last three seasons, notes Charania, even as he has improved his game offensively in multiple areas each season.
