The farce between Collins and the Eagles, like the "Hoan Juggernaut" replayed every summer, will be late, but it will never be absent.
Since last season, John Collins has been complaining about his lack of ball possession, and the relationship with the core of the team, Trae Young, has dropped to the freezing point, and for a while, Young even responded with a negative game, although they finally shook hands and brought the former fish belly into the playoffs and later the Eastern Conference Finals, but in Collins' heart, he never admitted that Trae Young was the boss of the team.
This season, while the team was struggling, Collins stepped up again to pour cold water and once again publicly complained about the lack of ball rights, this time, the Eagles management could not sit still, according to the latest news, they have put Collins on the shelves and are listening to offers from all sides.
Can understand Collins's mood, after all, from the basic data, his efficiency is not bad, averaging 17 points per game, 7.9 rebounds, shooting rate has been 3 consecutive seasons, reaching 50% and 40% respectively, each shot can get 1.42 points, more than 90% of the league's players, to know that the league's top scorers, such as Durant, is only 1.45 points, as a comparison, Trae Young is only 1.36 points, however, although Collins is very efficient, the usability rate is particularly low, not even 20%.
Most of the time, Collins is running back and forth with the team, and it is no wonder that people are unbalanced.
So the question is, if Collins is given more ball, can he remain efficient? Or, would Collins, who increased the ball, make the Hawks better?
Answer: No, and with the current configuration, he is not even as important as Capela.
Through 5 years of observation, the Eagles have a good understanding of Collins's ability and potential, it seems to be both inside and outside, there is a ball and no ball can play, but in fact, he is a pie-eating type of inside line, a little bit of technology and projection, the finishing ability is quite OK, as for letting him hold the ball to attack, it is tantamount to suicide.
Looking at Collins' arsenal, the most efficient is all non-ball scores in the march:
For example, convert offense, 1.25 points per round, 74.3% ahead of players in the league;
Blocking down, 1.51 points per game, ahead of 94.7% of players in the league;
There's also the empty cut, with 1.39 points per game, 71.2 percent ahead of players in the league;
And the ball-holding end, this season, he has not been unattended, especially the low-level offense, the number of rounds can be ranked in the top 20 of the league, what can be handed out? Only 0.82 points per game, second only to 70.8% of players in the league;
As far as this low-level ability is concerned, it is not as good as the Wizards Harrell, how do you say that the Eagles can rest assured to let him attack?
For such a blue-collar player, about 12 shots in a game, enjoying a high salary of 125 million in 5 years, which is already a top treatment, after all, he does not have the ability to make his teammates better, the data shows that when Collins is on the floor, the Hawks can only score 3.9 points per 100 rounds, while Trae Young, when he is on the floor, the Hawks can get 11.6 points per 100 rounds, the role is not at all in a grade, so the Hawks would rather let Trae Young throw three points in the half than be willing to give the ball to Collins singles.
Finally, let's talk about defense, Collins' defense is also average, playing the No. 4 position without defense, playing the No. 5 position without a protective frame, under his defense, the opponent can shoot 59.6% of the shooting rate in the less than 6-foot area, and on the three-point line, Collins can make the opponent's shooting rate soar from 34.8% to 39.1%.
Without the ability to hold the ball, defense is not good, even if he leaves the Eagles, Collins is not the core, unless, he can develop shooting, this is also Collins currently, the only chance that can change the fate, in the past few seasons, he does have a good three-point efficiency and shooting efficiency, this season can also reach 42.3% and 43.8%, respectively, but the production is too low, adding up to a game can score 1-2.
This is where Collins is now, it is not realistic to increase the ball, either wait to be traded, or honestly as an auxiliary.
