Since last season I was really confused as to why Zach Collins has been embraced our starting center of the future. Pop seems to really like him but every time he has to play D against a physical/aggressive player he gets destroyed. I like Zach on the offensive end but on D the man hustles but can’t stop a decent big from bullying him inside or ending up on someone’s highlight reel.

Personally I prefer a lineup with Bassey out there with Wemby and bringing Zach off the bench to take on the second string bigs. Obviously Pop is a HOF coach and this season is more about development than anything else, but does anyone see Bassey as a better traditional big man?

    I’m a huge Bassey fan, even made a post for him during the off-season

    But Zach is clearly a step above Charles, I think Charles can develop and be that old school centre, who is physical and makes it hard for other teams (with some decent passing too). But right now I do still think Zach is a better option at starter
