The Clippers had a hectic offseason, as they reconstructed their roster for this season.
One of the new acquisitions the Clippers made is John Collins, and he is poised to have a very successful career year with the LA Clippers.
When he was with the Utah Jazz, John Collins struggled to find a groove, and the coaching staff struggled to determine the best position/situation in the game to put him in during his time with the team.
John Collins played 71 games in Utah, where he shot 42.2% from the floor, and only averaged 6.3 assists. Notably, this was John Collins’ highest scoring game during his time with the Utah Jazz.
John Collins demonstrated his talent and improvement over the two years he spent in Utah.
Still, with a relatively young roster, the Jazz front office and coaching staff didn’t have room for him and struggled each season to integrate him into the team.
Since John Collins got traded this offseason to the Clippers, it’s going to be more beneficial for him, as well as playing for a contender like the LA Clippers.
John Collins will play alongside veterans and leaders such as Kawhi, James Harden, and Chris Paul. For John Collins, Clipper fans will look to see him scoring 19.5 points a game, as well as 9.8 rebounds per game.
Having John Collins on Ty Lue’s Clippers roster will be a huge advantage for the Clippers, as they will rely on his elite pick-and-roll playmaking from his time with the Atlanta Hawks.
