The freshman big man has slid down some draft boards due to minimal playing time, but Daimion Collins has the athleticism and defensive potential to be the next underrated sleeper out of Kentucky.
Reminds one a lot of Vando, as you astutely noted, certainly will have a place on an NBA roster. Kentucky seems to always have any number of guys with NBA cred, true dat! Though it wouldn’t likely hurt him in draft position to stick around for another year, work on that shot. Good piece Nick!!
Thanks so much, really glad that you liked the piece! It's also nice to know that someone agrees with me on the Vando comparison. If he does end up returning to Kentucky, an extra year for Collins working on that shot could really help his development.
