Daimion Collins will be a special talent for Kentucky

Chet Holmgren is projected as the No. 1 draft pick in the 2022 draft. He is the top player in the 2021 class, and he will play his college basketball at Gonzaga.

However, ESPN’s Jonathan Givony believes that Kentucky commit Daimion Collins is in the same conversation as Holmgren.

“(Collins is) an absolute freak physically, and some of the things he does on the perimeter — I don’t think the gap between him and Chet Holmgren is that big, honestly,” Givony told KSR this weekend. “They have a lot of similarities.”

Kentucky has a big man transfer in Oscar Tshiebwe next season, so where does Collins fit?
