Zach Collins has been confirmed as the starting power forward for his third season for the Portland Trail Blazers. Collins has shown steady improvement in his young career in terms of skill and his physical profile. Having only averaged 15 and 17 minutes a game in his first two years in Portland, he will need to earn the trust of coach Terry Stotts to earn 25 plus minutes a night. Collins potential two-way ability is the reason he was drafted in the lottery by the Blazers.
He will need to show every bit of that potential to earn crunch time minutes on this team.
