Zach Collins of the Portland Trail Blazers has had a penchant for picking up fouls through his first two seasons in the league, and Jamie Hudson of NBC Sports Northwest recently talked to him about that issue. Collins emphasized that despite being fifth on the team for picking up fouls, he is focused on limiting the number of small, incidental fouls he gets called for during a game.
“The best players in the world, the best refs in the world, the best coaches etc. and I don’t think it was a respect thing,” Collins said.
