Finally found the suitable No. 4 position! Collins' performance against the Kings was very efficient. He played 18.2 minutes, scored 24 points and 6 rebounds, and made 2 of 2 three-pointers.

In the preseason game against the Nuggets, he seemed a bit sluggish. In the game against the Nuggets, he made 3 of 7 shots, 1 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 9 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block. He also had 3 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus of -2. The performance in that game was not good. Tyronn Lue immediately asked him to come on as a substitute in the Kings game and immediately produced efficient data.

Under the leadership of Paul, he found the feeling of attacking

The inside first screened without the ball. Paul seized the opportunity and saw that he was empty, and immediately passed the ball.

It was also Paul's pass. The air cut was completed

Due to the big delay of Sasha, he reached the outside line before he had time to return. The inside line was partially 2-on-1. Paul's vision directly connected the ball

After the pick-and-roll, he followed the pick-and-roll

for a post-up single. Turn around and hit a hook shot

and hit a three-pointer from the corner

. Collins’ three-point ability helps the team open up space. Luo Luo can grab rebounds in the interior

His offensive skills and ability to open up space are what the Clippers have badly needed in recent years. He needs to maintain efficient three-pointers, as a space-based fourth position to open up breakthrough space for Harden and Leonard, and participate in pick-and-rolls, three-pointers, or the ability to play big and small inside.

Collins needs to improve his defensive judgment and awareness of assisting defense. His defensive efficiency is lower than the league average, and he needs to strengthen his defensive abilities through training.

In the team's third game, he still looked a little rusty in some rounds, but after getting used to it later, he may become a key figure at the fourth position like Gordon was with the Nuggets.
