Collins all rookie 2nd team

If folks are being honest, Kuzma did tail off mightily later in the season. Collins was fairly steady throughout.

Maybe Collins should've shoe-horned himself onto some TNT broadcasts to analyze playoffs as if he's ever been there before. I mean how stupid was it to have Kuzma on set to breakdown playoff games. I mean, really? Who TF is he to question or criticize anyone? Dude barely made it through the regular season.

I was actually gonna bring this up....

I think he could have made a run at 1st team if he'd spent the first couple months in Erie and then hit the ground running in January.

His stats would certainly have gotten a bump if he was putting up 15+ ppg from the start of his NBA playing time.

Between the injury and rookie wall...his numbers in January and February were brutal.

And that's where he lost his chance at 1st team honors.

Hey...I'm still hoping we send any/all of our draftees to Coach Longstaff next fall.

The only kids who might get a pass: MIkal Bridges, Jalen Brunson, Luka

The Hawks will always get the short end.

How the hell did Bog Bog get consideration when he was drafted in 2014. I feel a way about that. Non lotto guy and he's also as young or young than most on that list, congrats John John.

Glad he got some recognition but he was better than Kuzma. Better/more efficient at nearly everything but scoring but Kuzma got many more national TV games because the Lakers are an overrated legacy team and he scored a lot.
