"Collins has all of the tools to be an elite power forward: He’s strong, he’s outrageously athletic and he can knock down threes with his feet set while providing great impact as a rebounder. Collins has also got a solid face-up and low-post game, though his defense could still use some work, as his fluid feet get a bit stiffer when asked to guard ball-handlers.
Synergy Sports ranked the Hawks big man as a “very good” player scoring out of the post, and as an “excellent” one in transition and on the offensive glass. Overall, the play-tracking website ranked Collins as an “excellent” offensive player overall in 2020-21, shockingly in the NBA’s 96th percentile scoring 1.177 PPP on scoring chances, an outrageously efficient mark.
So even despite his scoring numbers going down by-product of Atlanta picking up so many strong offensive players prior to the campaign, Collins was perhaps even more effective in his slightly more limited role last year."
