There is a reason for this… Collins is open more than his teammates.

If you’re trying to defend VT, your priorities are: * put your top defender on Cattoor and run him off the three point line. * full court pressure on Pedulla and run him off the three point line. * deny Kidd and Poteat good position down low. * if Nickel is in, keep him off the threes. Teams will keep giving Collins open looks until he shoots better than Hunter or Chef Sean. When Collins is shooting confidently, look out! :)

Second game in a row where Collins took the 2nd most shots on the team

It's not the quantity that bothers me, but the selection. He needs to catch

Rather have a shot than an extra forced pass and turnover. **

If he's going to be on the floor, he has to take good open shots when he

Collins is athletic enough to make an opening
BigDaddyHokie • 01/24/24 08:51 AM ET
I will take 5-12 from him **
HokiesACC2004 • 01/24/24 07:15 AM ET
He shouldn’t shoot beyond 10 feet
DCL • 01/24/24 10:17 AM ET
Pedulla took 13, Collins took 12, but you miss the point. MJ started off

That's what I said, 2nd most shots on the team.
amazng_grace • 01/24/24 07:40 AM ET
Gotcha, the worst thing that can happen with him is to make the first shot.
UEMcGill • 01/24/24 11:04 AM ET
The defense was basically daring him to shoot. He has to take those shots
HeisenBurg13 • 01/24/24 07:58 AM ET
And we need to rebound and get 2nd chance shots**

Focusing on that is completely at odds with MY's philosophy of completely..

This offense works when the open man takes the shot. Collins is often the
