Collins is a well built wing player that uses his body well. He is able to play through contact and puts a lot of pressure on defenders when he is attacking the goal in transition. Elijah is also a great teammate that showed a high level of communication for Hard Hoops Gold. Collins is also a willing defender that shows effort and discipline on that end of the floor. He was a key piece in the win over C4 Attack, showing an ability to handle the ball and score against length and pressure.
Elijah is the type of player that will impact winning by using his versatility and toughness. I’d take him on my team any day. He can get downhill at will and w competes hard defensively. During one series of play he scored 6 points in a row!
At 6 feet, Collins established himself as a big guard with a powerful blend of strength, footwork, and scoring finesse. His upper body strength allowed him to absorb contact and finish through defenders, making him a relentless force in the paint. Collins was nearly unstoppable when he found his rhythm, attacking defenses with an array of counter moves that kept defenders guessing. He demonstrated an impressive understanding of reading the defense, confidently pulling up for jumpers when defenders sagged off and driving past opponents who attempted to pressure him. His strong first step, paired with his willingness to take what the defense gave him, made him a consistent scoring threat from all three levels.
Collins is a smart, skilled forward. He has a very mature game, a high IQ on both ends. He is a vocal player, and it bodes well for him looking out for teammates. He can pass the ball very well, as has a great vision of the court. He is a talented floor spacer because of his ability to shoot the ball from mid and beyond and create shots for others. He uses great fundamental footwork playing off two feet keeping the pivot active and great at scoring from it. He uses pump fakes and pass fakes often as well, making defenders work on every possession to avoid making simple but costly mistakes.
