Bleacher Report recently published an article predicting the 2017-2018 NBA-All-Rookie teams. Not surprisingly, Zach Collins failed to make the first or second team, but did receive an honorable mention. The 10th overall pick fell under B/R’s “Small Roles, Big Winners category alongside OG Anunoby and Royce O’Neal.
Even with a Portland-bias, it’s obvious Collins doesn’t deserve a place on the All-Rookie first team. Bleacher Report’s top five rookies are fairly accurate: Ben Simmons, Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum, Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball.
