Zach Collins Malibu Beach House

[Atl Spur]

I like the way he moves, but wish he had better touch around the rim. I also wish he was a better leaper. I'm willing for the Spurs to give him another year to try to be productive, but they should 100% try to go out and sign another someone to compete for the backup role for him this offseason.

We will see the better version of Zach as the reps increase, the dudes been out a long time.

Check out the YouTube video of him moving his feet a few years back........Zach Collins v. Grizzlies 7.31.20

I've yet to come around to being a fan of his or think that the Spurs should have committed to two years of him at that salary. Yes, I know his contract is only half guaranteed, but that only means the marginal savings for cutting him is so low that they probably won't do so. He's probably been the worst center on the team this year, and while there's hope he get's better: A) He's always been a bad player, even during his best stretches -- this isn't a matter of just returning to form; B) That's hopefully true of any old prospect center -- the team can and should look to bringing in a real prospect and/or a real rotation center and not give Collins the developmental priority he's honestly not earning right now.

The Spurs can stretch Collins to drastically reduce his cap hit this summer, and that's a key to the team doing any big acquisition. Of course, that would just continue the team's annoying tradition of carrying loads of dead money for the last several seasons. It would be a mildly painful exit to a self-inflicted situation.

people think because he was drafted in the top 10 he has some kinda hidden potential still waiting to be unlocked. He is what he is tbh.

I’ll stay on this anic….. he’s my boy blue!

[Ice009]

Yeah, no, this hope you have for a bench player is a bit over the top to say the least. I don't think he's a starter let alone the player you're hyping him up to be.

[Atl Spur]

Lol……this will age well!

He is not the worst if you actually watch Landale's defense. Jock is being hunted now.

[Atl Spur]

I make a habit to just sit back and watch Give the man some time��

[Fireball]

I want Landale back in the rotation ... Collins reached his peak in his first game back ... trainwreck since then ...

I believe only 3mm is guaranteed. Really not a big deal to waive him.

[timtonymanu]

Zollins sucks and always has. I know Atl is on his high horse because he believed in Primo while most of us didn’t. But tbh the spurs could sign udonis Haslem tomorrow and Atl will start making claims that Haslem is the best PF we have since Timmy. Ima let Atl be the homer he is though. We desperately need some depth

Lol. Yeah because I believe in all of our players………don’t I? BTW it’s a trick question

[Atl Spur]

Collins will be a ok as long as he stays healthy I’ll keep this thread alive long enough to see TTM admit he was wrong

Tomas Satoransky was supposed to “stabilize the bench”

We need talent. Fielding 10-15 solid role players isn’t going to cut it.

Still waiting to see how Zollins is supposedly the next best big ever on the team other than Duncan and DRob. But what should I expect from someone who’s probably on the same spectrum as Kawhi mentally?

[TDomination]

i don't like what i've seen so far with Collins but i'll definitely give him more time.
I feel like i'll be able to form a better opinion halfway through next season, hopefully he's able to stay healthy throughout.

Was that a question or statement I made??? Look at you trying to be cute��

Give it some time my guy. I won’t name call with you�� Please just revisit this thread and apologize when the time is right ok? Just couldn’t help yourself ������

[Leetonidas]

Dude moves like he's running in quicksand. He's lost too much agility to ever be a rotational player again imo.

[John B]

Give the guy a break. He’s only been playing a few weeks after two years of no basketball, and to be ba playing against the best in the world. Dude was scrambling and diving for 50/50 balls. He’s a scrappy player with a lot of swagger. He just needs time.

[KingKev]

He never was going to be the saviour but still has the tools to be a solid backup big. We have 20 games left to evaluate him and make a decision in guaranteeing next year. This year is lost play-in or not, but evaluating talent is key. If he really sh!ts the bed we can waive him and cut him a cheque for 3mm. Pennies for a team who has been paying 10-20% of their cap space to guys to play for other teams in recent years.

So my tv is working! These boys act like this man has no skills�� He’s been away for TWO years people!!

[rjv]

Zollins was awful last night, in every aspect, and it was his worst outing of the season. I'm not sure what my expectations for him were but I'm hoping that last night was an aberration and not the start of a pattern.

[John B]

Dude got 6/5/1 in 15 minutes of showing. What else do you want?

His pump and under to earn free throw. He dived for a loose ball. I mean really people
