HOW HE OPERATES

There is a retro feel to Zach Collins, a classic center whose game has just enough of the new elements required for big men to survive in the current NBA. Simply, he is a post player who can step out and hit a 3-point jump shot. His jump-shooting ability, rim protection and upside is why he’s considered among the best prospects in the draft. A second team All-West Coast Conference and WCC All-Freshman Team selection, Collins made a big impression in a limited amount of time, playing just 17.
