Stiffs Prospect Watch continues with Wake Forest power forward/small ball center John Collins, an interesting player on a rare trajectory. His skills around the basket offensively are high quality, his athleticism makes him an above the rim threat, and he has shown defensive potential. He shares a last name with another favorite prospect of mine, Zach Collins, and his position is similar. Both guys showed incredible efficiency this year, but John demonstrated it in a larger role as a starter.
John Collins was one of the leaders for the Demon Deacons this season, and while Wake Forest didn’t make the tournament as more than a play-in, they were a tough out.
