BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues
ANALYSIS: How things can change in a short period of time... Ask the San Antonio Spurs and their big man Zach Collins, who has been the best fantasy producer in TX for the last two weeks and change in a quite fantastic turn of events.
Of course, the trade deadline had a lot to do with Collins' explosion after the Spurs decided to send Jakob Poeltl back to Toronto opening the path for Zach to grab the starting gig at the C. Collins has now started six games in a row playing more minutes than ever before (30 MPG) and producing saucy numbers on a reasonable 21% usage rate.
In the last six games (Feb. 10 through Feb. 25) in which Collins has started, he's put up an average per-game line reading 15-8-4-1 while missing on hitting double-digit points just once (he still finished with nine) and logging three double-doubles in that short two-week span.
Collins has grabbed at least 5+ boards in all last six games, he's hit at least 1+ three-point shot in six of his last seven outings, and he's stolen a ball in five consecutive games through Monday.
Other than the worryingly high PF numbers (he gets called for a personal foul more than 4 times per game), there is nothing to hate on Collins's profile as a fantasy asset. The per-minute efficiency is unreasonably great, he provides the classic goodies in points and rebounds and comes with a rather high floor on the assists cat.
Even looking at his lower season-long averages, Collins is still one of only 21 players with an average line of 10-6-2 along with 0.5+ SPG, 0.5+ BPG, and 0.5+ 3PM per game.
