John Collins
The Minnesota Timberwolves have limited options with such a top-heavy roster in terms of talent and salary. The largest trade chip on the team is Jarrett Culver, who is making less than $7 million per season, and most veteran options at the power forward spot make over $10 million per season.
John Collins is a solid option, though, as a player that can score in a variety of ways – something that general manager Gersson Rosas might prefer over a defense-first player in the frontcourt.
Collins averaged 22 points, ten rebounds, and two blocks last year for the Atlanta Hawks. While he is due for a contract extension shortly, he might be worth the money due to his immense production and what he can do as a basketball player. Last year alone, he shot over 40-percent from three – something that would absolutely go well alongside Towns.
Collins is not the best defender, but he does enough offensively to counteract his negative defense. He is one of the younger options for the Wolves, who desperately need more quality frontcourt players.
