thanks for posting those numbers. i think one of the underrated aspects of Collier's game is his ability to get to the FT line. His FT rate was at 50% - which i would guess is top 5 in the draft at worst, perhaps #1 among guards. he just needs to get his make rate into the 75-80% range, at least.

Agreed. I always worry when a high FT volume guard shoots such a low percentage in college. If he can't get his percentages up he will have a hard time in the NBA.

He also needs a runner and better jumper, but those can be developed.

Yeah but I’m sure you’re aware the NBA 3 is further out.. plus defenders are longer.

39% from three after coming back from injury. the biggest thing you want to see from young players over the course of a season is improvement - he did that. his other issue was turnovers, and he cut those down significantly as well.

I get it. But I'm just saying it's not Crazy concerning. There's some hope there.

And fwiw Jaylen Brown shot 29% from 3 and 65% from the line his Freshman season. Collier was 34% and 67% respectively. Hopefully he's a hard worker. Seems like there's at least a little touch there. I'm actually more concerned that though he's lauded as a terrific passer, kind of a turnover machine. Is he just gonna be Emanuel Mudiay with a tad more touch? Man I hope not.

The CBS guy was saying his shot looks worse than his % suggests.

I’m not sure that’s true or not though.

He’s quicker going to the basket than Mudiay to my eyes fwiw.
