Zach Collins entered the season as an important piece of the puzzle for San Antonio and a few games into the season, he has proved to be hugely important for the Silver and Black. Arguably, too important, especially when it comes to their attack.
The center has been able to fill a big role on offense well enough, but in order to make their system work, the Spurs are asking too much of a player who is better suited for less responsibility.
On defense, what’s demanded of Collins is simple enough and his limitations are clear. It’s on the other end that Collins has always been given more responsibility than expected.
