One is Giannis, and other is Collins..... And there is Isaac, among 60 PFs, ranked as 49th.
But pls tell me more about Isaac having " defined skill" that makes him better than Collins.
Collins rookie year , in terms of efficiency was greater than any Magic rookie ,tracking back all the way to a Shaq rookie year.
Today, Isaac is some crossover of RHJ/Siakam on defense with Mo Harkless/ Kurucs offense.
Picky mediocre spot up shooters who simply don't have basketball skills to handle more offense. On defense he is good, but being good defener and nothing else, on wing is kind a underwhelming.
You might want to pick Isaac over Collins, but that's your personal opinion. Nobody will call you anything for it, but in same time you are also entitled to claim that you would take MCW over Curry.
Key difference between Giannis vs Collins is that 51% of the Greek's points are unassisted, meanwhile only 24% of JC's are. Giannis also has 30.3 AST% meanwhile Collins 11.1 AST%.
One player creates his own shot and creates for others on ball. The other player is reliant on others to create shots for him and doesn't create very well for others.
Not a big deal unless your PF is high USG (23.7) like Collins is. As I believe you have mentioned, having PF being one of your high volume offensive players is not ideal unless that player is point forward type. Which he isn't.
Personally I think the ideal PF is an elite 3-D guy with high bbIQ that keeps ball moving and when needed finishes effectively at rim or 3pt.
23,7% isn't that big of a usage if player plays 30,00 mpg, that' similar usage to Evan, Ross and Gordon, who he smoked in efficiency.
I did say i don't prefer star at PF, but it's not like guy is some selfish prick that ruins your offense. Guy has pretty good shot selection, improved from rookie year a lot, shoots 73% inside 3 feet, total rebounds percentage already higher than Gordon ( or Isaac) ever had. He is pretty good basketball player.
Also you compare him as total package to Giannis, league's MVP , one of best basketball players in the world, where other compare him to Isaac who is pretty much overdrafted as he lacks skills to play two way basketball.
