Zach Collins is heading into an offseason where an increased role should be expected with Jusuf Nurkic’s injury, the departure of Enes Kanter and the lack of offensive ability from Hassan Whiteside. Don’t be surprised if Collins thrives under his new featured role on the Portland Trail Blazers.
His ability to space the floor with a polished mid-range game and a 3-point shot that seems to be improving on a nightly basis will make him the obvious choice for Terry Stotts to start him at either the power forward or center position in various flexibility lineups.
