Having weathered tough times due to injuries, the fifth-year pro stands to benefit from...
Not to be outdone, Jakob Poeltl looked like Bill Walton later in the half when he lofted the ball over a defender to a cutting Keita Bates-Diop in the lane for another easy score.With the, Collins should have plenty of chances to continue to show off his playmaking skills with a hike in minutes as the team’s No. 1 big man, a role that starts Friday night against the Pistons.
“He’s feeling more and more like himself after all those injuries that kept him out,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said last month. “He has had a lot of off time to take care of himself and get his rhythm back, and he’s done that pretty damn well. He is more patient, he’s more balanced, he is more confident.”“We’ve been giving him the ball in the post a little bit more and he’s been really good there,” Poeltl said Wednesday night before news of the deal broke.
Given the Spurs’ emphasis on development this season, it seems likely that second-year big man and St. Anthony-ex Charles Bassey, 22, and undrafted rookie Dominick Barlow, 19, will get more minutes.“When you have that , it’s a luxury, and we rely on them to start a lot of our offense because they have the ball at the top of the key kind of like a point guard,” McDermott said. “As a shooter, I rely on my bigs, and Zach… a really good job of getting us shots.
