John Collins

The Atlanta Hawks and John Collins were a perfect match for each other back in the 2017 NBA Draft. He had a solid rookie season but really needed Trae Young’s presence to take his game to the next level.

A young, building franchise in Atlanta, the Hawks really like their core, and giving up their power forward of the future would be too much to ask. The 2021 first-round pick or the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft may not produce a talent like Collins.

Collins, this past season, averaged 21.6 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. His dominance, despite being suspended for 20-plus games, was obvious, and he’s about to take that next level as a scorer.

The price of Collins would be astronomical. A 22-year-old player that’s already showing superstar upside would easily cost both picks along with potential several other assets. It just wouldn’t be worth it for a team that’s been extremely good at draft over the last decade.
