Jazz trade for John Collins

I do think this means we might have other plans for KO but not sure. I would bring him back to be a backup big still.

Awesome! We got off Rudy Gay and all it cost us to get Collins is a second round pick. I would look for Collins to have a big bounce back after a down year last season. Should be a great fit next to Lauri and Kessler, and Hardy will use him correctly and bring out the best in him. I wouldn't be shocked to see him get back to 20 points a game next season and get his 3 point percentage back above 35%..

John Collins again credits Atlanta Hawks assistant GM Kyle Korver​

Collins closed the regular season on a high note, going 8-for-19 from beyond the arc over the final four games (53.6%) and shooting 40% from deep over his last 16 appearances. He shot 24.9% in the 55 games before that.

He once again credited Hawks assistant general manager Kyle Korver for the late-season turnaround.

Clearly we are all still gassed up by the picks we got out of Rudy and Don. Guess it can't always be that way

Then just don't do the trade. Yeah, he could be rehabbed for value, he could just also be who he was on the whole last season and become a miserable millstone to carry.
 
Can't say as I'm too excited for this one. Think there were better players to be had in free agency than John Collins.
 
Could be a 'buy low, sell high' move. There is definitely an upside to Collins and if Hendricks develops and outshines Collins, then you can consider trading Collins for additional assets. Because in the right system his value will rise. I am very interested to see what our roster looks like at the start of the season.
 
It looks like JC messed up his finger in the 2021/2022 season. So here are some of his numbers in the year before the injury:
2020/2021
17.6ppg/7.4rpg/1.2apg 55.6/39.9/83.3 shooting splits
116.0 ORTG/111.7DRTG/61%EFG
