Darren Collison has had a very slow start to the 2018-19 Indiana Pacers season. Even after perking up recently, he’s performing well below his career average across the board: 3 fewer points per game, 4% worse shooting overall and from 3, 9% worse from the FT line, and his PER is down by 1.5. After flirting with 50/40/90 splits a season ago, sitting at 46/35/76 isn’t great.
Collison, a small point guard (6’0, 175 pounds) is in his age 31 season. This is around when many players who rely on athleticism (quickness, in DC’s case) start to decline.
