Drafted 10th overall in the 2017 NBA Draft by the Trailblazers, the 7-foot, 250-pound Collins has shown promise during his career despite struggling with injuries.
In his rookie season, Collins posted impressive stats, finishing with 31 blocks, 221 rebounds, and 35 3-pointers.
He had missed most of the 2019-20 season after having left shoulder surgery, but he returned for the NBA’s restart in the bubble in Florida and helped the Blazers reach the Western Conference playoffs with a play-in victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. In the opening round series against the eventual NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers, Collins suffered a season-ending left ankle injury. Collins had averaged seven points and 6.3 rebounds in 11 games during the 2019-20 season. He finished 8th in the league in blocked shots.
Collins is currently recuperating from ankle surgery he underwent last December and is sidelined indefinitely for the 2021-21 season
Previously, Collins was a star college player at Gonzaga University, helping the Bulldogs to their first NCAA national championship game in the 2016-17 season. Collins was named to the 2017 NCAA All-Tournament team, while also leading the West Coast Conference in blocked shots as well as field goal shooting percentage.
Off the court, Collins enjoys spending time with his friends and family back home in Las Vegas. He also has a strong interest in cars, music, in addition to his love of video games.
