Seeing a lot of praise for Collins on the sub, and I get it. He can pass and has some decent offensive nights, but his lack of rebounding, poor defense, and inefficient offensive nights seem to seriously hurt us at the 5. Anyone else think it’s time for Bassey to get extended minutes? I’m seeing more switchability w him on the defensive side than I’d expected.
I’d like to agree, but sometimes I’m watching the games and there’s stretches where Zach is the only one getting buckets.
Long way of saying I don’t think Zach is the biggest problem.
He’s a good backup. Shouldn’t be starter. Everyone cries when I suggest Wemby be center but we play a lot better with him near the basket. Defense has to collapse coz they don’t want him to get an easy basket and he patrols the paint well
Long term the big that pairs with wemby needs to be a rebounding machine and defensive minded, Collins lacks the rebounding instinct, I don’t see that changing
What big is a better fit than Collins? Jokic? It feels like half of Wemby’s points come off of Collins’ assists. He’s about the only guy we have that actually looks like he knows how to play with Wemby.
