In thinking about Wake Forest big men in the NBA, the first name that should come to everyone’s mind is Tim Duncan, considered by most to be the Greatest Power Forward of All Time.
John Collins is not Tim Duncan, and no one in their right mind should expect him to be. While Collins only stayed two years at Wake and Duncan stayed all four, don’t sleep on Wake’s latest dominant big man. Collins played an instrumental role in bringing Wake Forest out of the basement of the ACC and leading them back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2010; a team that featured current NBA players Ish Smith and Al-Farouq Aminu.
