Clippers forward new player: I don t have the chance to work with point guards like Paul and Harden after leaving the Hawks

The Los Angeles Clippers previously held a media day event, during which the team's new forward player John Collins was interviewed by the media, and he talked about his feelings about several veteran partners of the Clippers.

Colins said: Since I partnered with Trae Young at the Atlanta Hawks, I have not had a chance to partner with a high-level organizer like Chris Paul and James Harden. I believe playing around them can further stimulate my offensive talent, and all I have to do is maintain enough concentration and establish a tacit understanding with them. Collins continued: The Clippers' system is very suitable for my characteristics and style of play. I can't even express my excitement in words to be able to play in such a liquid system. I can bring endless energy, spark and vitality to the team, no matter what you call it. I'm excited to learn defensive skills from top defenders like Kawhi Leonard. Of course, I'm also very happy that he will not defend me on the court. Obviously, we all know Leonard's characteristics. He is not good at talking, but we are talking about things that we all want to win, and there is no doubt about this.

In the NBA regular season last season, Collins was affected by injury and only played 40 times in 82 games, with averaging 30.5 minutes per game, with an average of 18.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and 2.6 turnovers and 2.9 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 52.7%, a three-point shooting percentage of 39.9%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 84.8%. The Jazz, where Collins is located, had a very poor record last season and was seriously insufficient in competitiveness, but Collins' performance was actually quite good, and he was able to show off his characteristics in all aspects. Collins has a very comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. Not only does he have excellent ability to move without the ball and finish at the basket, he also has high stability in outside shooting. On the defensive end, he can also use his super athletic ability to cause some trouble for his opponents.

In fact, on the surface, Collins's characteristics are indeed very consistent with the Clippers' playing style, and his arrival also makes up for the Clippers' lack of athletic ability in the fourth and fifth positions. I believe that the Clippers saw these characteristics of Corinth and chose to send Norman Powell away this summer and get him from the Jazz. I don’t know what kind of performance Collins can perform in the NBA field in the new season. Beside top point guards like Paul and Harden, can Collins show off his offensive characteristics?
