“The teams that can just continue to play the next play - and the next play - are the ones that do the best.”
There may not be a better quote to encapsulate Nick Collison’s approach to the game of basketball – a mindset that has been in lockstep with the Thunder’s outlook ever since he was drafted by the organization back in 2003.
His 2016-17 season was not as productive on the stat sheet in comparison to previous years – he played in 20 games and averaged 6.4 minutes per contest. But when he was in there, particularly in specific matchups, he displayed how he can be impactful on the court.
