This year hasn’t gone as well as the San Antonio Spurs may have hoped. Obviously, getting Victor Wembanyama in the fold has been a blessing, as the 20-year-old rookie already looks like a franchise centerpiece in the making. But as a team, they’ve struggled. They’re currently sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference.
Unfortunately, not everybody on the roster has seen as much success as Wembanyama this season. Some players on the Spurs have struggled a bit, and it’s shown up in their play on the court. One player, in particular, who has had some problems is big man Zach Collins.
Eduardo Shabot of Air Alamo recently handed out midseason grades, and he gave Collins an F.
“Zach Collins was expected to be a key player for the Spurs this season, particularly after Wemby’s move to power forward and Jacob Poeltl’s departure from the team,” Shabot wrote. “However, despite his strong temperament, Collins’ performance hasn’t improved from last season’s numbers, resulting in disappointment for the team.
“Regrettably, due to his subpar performances and lack of significant contribution to the franchise, he should be considered one of the primary candidates to be gone from the team at the end of the year unless he demonstrates a clear improvement in the remaining games of the regular season.”
Collins hasn’t been what the Spurs had hoped he would be.
