Sltrib KC Interview

"Well, I am a little bit older, because of the mission. I plan on having a big year, and if I do, if the opportunities come, I will take them. So, I am not committed to four years. I am not going to say I am going to leave early, but if the opportunity comes, I will take it. .. If there are people predicting me to be a first-round draft pick, then I will go," he said.
Sorry to be the one to say so Kyle, but there is very little chance of you being projected a first round pick this year. In fact most experts would put you as undrafted. You have average NBA athletic ability. As a 6'6" guy that is pretty good but you have to learn how to shoot really well.Collinsworth knows he has the athleticism needed to play profession al basketball, but his shooting really needs to improve — especially his free-throw shooting. To that end, he said he’s been working with a shot doctor of sorts — Kirk Miles — to improve his percentages from the charity stripe and the field.
"I have spent a ton of time on free-throw shooting," he said. "I have a new routine, and have been working with different people, so I am excited. I have a shooting coach that I am working with right now, Kirk Miles. He gives me a different perspective. He’s been really good."

Re: Sltrib KC Interview
KC has always had a lot of "swagger."
He should pattern his game after Kawhi Leonard, course that's hard to do when you're playing the wrong position. No way he is first round material and I highly doubt he ever will be. Ask yourself who the better player is Kawhi or KC? Kawhi was the 15th pick.

Re: Sltrib KC Interview
I like the idea of a player saying exactly what he thinks. Hopefully his drive for excellence and fame will be a force for good in his game. He is playing the wrong position, as has been mentioned, and that will hurt his draft stock. Collinsworth isn't Russell Westbrook. He is a potentially better version of Gordon Hayward. He works best when the ball is in his hands at the wings, not the top of the key.

I hope KC makes it. Hayward is a better athlete and bigger. Hayward's jumper is better.BlueIsBetter wrote:I like the idea of a player saying exactly what he thinks.

KC seems more like a less athletic Evan Turner to me.

I would say that his offense has better upside than Hayward, provided he gets a jumper.Qman wrote:I hope KC makes it. Hayward is a better athlete and bigger.

He has a pretty smooth crossover and a good first step. He is elite as a slasher and finisher. Everything else about his game is not elite, yet.
