When he doesn't have David West to run pick and pops with, Roy to throw the ball down low to, Danny to take shots late in the shot clock, or Paul to handle the ball and make simple entry passes that Collison can't make then we'll see just how bad he really is.

No, I'm not calling Darren a hall of famer. I'm simply saying that you're silly to make that argument that Darren plays with "great players" that bail him out, while he's on a team that's widely regarded as having no "great players" (see ESPN, Indy Star, etc). Darren Collison played his best basketball in NO when he had ONLY David West to play with.
No, he's not great. However, he's a lower tier starter right now, sure. He's still a competent starting PG in this league.
