Although it may feel like just yesterday when John Collins entered the NBA Draft, he is on the verge of his ninth season, with eight of them being split between the Atlanta Hawks and Utah Jazz. Two years before the high-flyer was traded, he signed a five-year, $125 million contract with Atlanta, which will come to a close next summer.
For $25 million annually, Collins produces ideally towards his paycheck. He is one of those big men who can play both sides of the ball and contribute to winning, but his value has been diminished due to health and injury concerns.
