Bulls center Zach Collins is physically imposing. He’s every bit of 6-11 with some solid passing skills to boot.

Collins’ blend of physicality and toughness is needed on a Bulls team that rosters eight guards, especially given that Nikola Vucevic is dealing with a calf injury that the medical staff is treating cautiously and Jalen Smith is dealing with the lingering effects of a concussion. Collins is the last healthy big standing.

“I’ve been in and out of lineups all year so now I get all the minutes I want,” Collins said.
