John Collins and Trae Young will be prominently featured during NBA All-Star weekend later in February, with both players taking part in the Rising Stars Challenge and following that up with an appearance on Saturday night. Young is one of eight intriguing participants in the Skills Competition and, while that isn’t exactly the “headline” event of the night, there will be plenty of interest from fans of the Atlanta Hawks.
However, Collins is a part of the four-man field for this year’s dunk contest and, as of Wednesday, it is now clear that he is the betting favorite to bring home the glory.
