Throughout the pre-draft process and his rookie season, Portland Trail Blazers power forward Zach Collins’ offensive skill set got a lot of coverage. His combination of size and skill made him the perfect for the modern game. While the offense hasn’t quite come around yet, the other end of the floor has boosted his on-court value early in his career.

He graded out as the best rim protector on the Blazers roster last season, showing impressive feet, length, and instincts, especially for a player with so little NBA experience.
