My Take
Jarron Collins reads to me as the quintessential cerebral big man. A 211 cm Stanford graduate from Los Angeles who carved out ten NBA seasons did so through intelligence and hustle rather than flash, and that kind of survival impresses me more than raw talent ever could. Now an assistant coach with the New Orleans Pelicans, he brings the empathy of someone who understood the grind firsthand. That his twin brother Jason also reached the league is genuinely remarkable. I tend to bet on grounded, basketball-smart former players in coaching, and Collins strikes me as one to watch.
