Collins played like a man possessed in the game that I was able to catch of his team. His overwhelming athleticism jumped out immediately, springing high above his opponent to emphatically win the opening tip, and then it was off to the races for him. He’s a long, bouncy athlete who can protect the rim or defend on the perimeter. He did a great job getting into passing lanes and turning his defense into quick and easy offense, finishing a few breakaways with powerful dunks. But what was most impressive was his ability to stretch the floor. He was constantly moving without the ball in his hands, making his defender work, and he knocked down a number of 3s, an added element to his game. His jumper has a bit of a Lonzo Ball feel to it, where he brings the ball a little more towards the middle of his body, but he looks comfortable with it and the results were strong. He may have been the most impressive player that I saw and will be in line for a nice bump in the 2024 rankings when those are updated.

A bouncy and physical 6-4 forward, Collins was a key role player for the Roughriders as a sophomore, averaging 4.5 points and 1.7 rebounds while shooting nearly 49% from the floor. He showed the ability to occasionally stretch out and knock down some jumpers (40% from 3 on limited attempts), and his activity level on both ends of the floor make him a valuable piece for Roosevelt.
