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

Collins’ blend of physical play and toughness is needed on a team with eight guards, especially with Nikola Vucevic dealing with a calf injury that’s being treated with caution and Jalen Smith dealing with the lingering effects of a concussion. Collins, who had 21 points, 17 rebounds and seven assists in the Bulls’ 122-117 loss to the Clippers on Wednesday, is the last healthy big man standing.
