Wiggins was shipped to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for guard D’Angelo Russell, a deal that has paid off in spades for the former and the Warriors. He never quite lived up to the hype in Minnesota despite averaging 20-plus points twice.
Wiggins was drafted with the first-overall pick in 2014 by the Cleveland Cavaliers and was immediately traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Kevin Love. “Or do you want guys like John Collins who can go above and beyond and do more? And I think we have a pretty compelling piece of evidence in the Warriors that Andrew Wiggins is a do-more, above-and-beyond kind of fit.”Īir Canada soared through the clouds last summer! ✈️️ #SeasonRecap #DubNation | /OYA2vdqug6 “Do you want guys who are the cleanest, lowest-maintenance fits,” Mahoney asked rhetorically during the ‘ NBA Show: Group Chat’ podcast. This, says The Ringer’s Rob Mahoney, is the “paradox of NBA team-building”. Collins has publicly expressed concern about how he was being used and, with the addition of Dejounte Murray this offseason, the problem has been exasperated in the stat sheet. He has only failed to average at least 1.0 blocks once in his career and has averaged more than that three times including this season (1.5).īut his plummeting usage rate has been a source of contention for the 6-foot-9 high-flyer for some time. He’s averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds for an entire season and shot 40% from three in 2020 (39.9% in 2021). Hawks’ John Collins compared to Warriors’ Andrew WigginsĬollins has all of the tools and has displayed them at various points in his career. His usage rate has sunk to a career-low 15.7% continuing a downward trend from the past four seasons.īut Collins is still producing leaving some to evoke the name of another veritable conundrum. He even shot a respectable 35.7% from beyond the arc.Īfter back-to-back four-point outings, Collins has rattled off a five-game stretch averaging 12 points on 57.4% true shooting with 7.2 boards, and 1.4 assists. He began the campaign with back-to-back 20-point games and averaged 19 points on 66.9% true shooting with 10.5 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, and 1.2 steals over the first four games of the season. After a rather hot start, Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins has seen his production level off. There are ebbs and flows to every NBA season.
