John Collins may have been the most improved player in college basketball last season.
Seriously.
The 6’10” sophomore for the Wake Forest Demon Deacons dominated some of the best competition in the nation and was named the ACC’s Most Improved Player. Averaging 19.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 26.6 minutes per game, Collins’ numbers are comparable to those of the Wake Forest great, Tim Duncan.
Seriously.
In Duncan’s sophomore season, he averaged 16.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 4.2 blocks in 36.5 minutes per game.
If you compare the numbers on a per 40 minute basis, Collins averaged 10.
