Portland Trail Blazers big man Zach Collins has one of the brightest futures on the team. At only 21 years old, he has played two impactful NBA seasons, helping the Blazers with his defensive versatility. However, in order to take the next step on the less glamorous end of the court, he needs to work on staying out of foul trouble.
Since his college days, he has had trouble defending well without the referee blowing the whistle. In only 17.3 minutes per game, Collins averaged a whopping 2.7 fouls a contest. While it was a slight concern going into the NBA Draft, many did not think too much of this issue because many young big men have problems with this as well.
