Darren Collison has earned more credit than he gets
Very few players in the NBA receive less credit for their contributions than Indiana Pacers point guard Darren Collison.
Pick any advanced stat, your favorite one, your least favorite one, just pick. I guarantee you that the statistic you chose painted 2017-18 Darren Collison in a favorable light.
That’s because 2017-18 DC made a ton of positive plays and not a lot of negative ones. His 3-point percentage led the league. His assist-to-turnover ratio was tops in the association. His defense was fine. Collectively. he made a lot of high-impact positive plays while avoiding the largely negative ones.
This season has been a little worse, but not as much as you’re probably thinking…
