Agreed, Collins shooting wide open shots is better than the offense.....

grinding to a hault or having to completely reset late in the shot clock. Last night I noticed a few times instead of a catch and shoot 3, he was so open he dribble once or twice and got a 15 footer off (still open). I know Analytics say that's a bad risk/reward, but I like that play from MJ.

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

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

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**
