John Collins' struggles start with Jalen Duren
John Collins has been struggling over the last six games, and a lot of his issues trace back to the injury to starting center Jalen Duren.
After enjoying a red-hot start to his career as a Piston, averaging 15 ppg in his first three games and shooting the lights out, Collins has cooled off and completely changed his approach.
In the first three games, Collins averaged nearly five 3-point attempts per game and hit half of them, which is precisely the type of floor spreading the Pistons were hoping for when they acquired him and let Tobias Harris walk.
But in the past six games, Collins has taken just 1.5 attempts from 3-point range per game and hit just 11 percent of them.
