SportsLine's Analysis Point guards who stand 6-6 and can defend three positions don't come along all that often. Collins won't score big in the NBA, but he'll do enough of everything else to earn his keep for a long time. - Gregg Doyel

A combo guard with great size and a good skill set, he'd be a strong fit for a team looking to reload on the perimeter. He often had to carry the Owls offensively, so his shot selection wasn't the best, but he can defend, score and handle enough well to play both guard positions. That versatility should land him a home in the first round or early second. - Tony Mejia

Scouting Report Not many players start every game in their college careers, or even stay in college long enough to accomplish such a feat. But Collins is one of the few who has, and he had no problems playing heavy minutes - 37.2 as senior and a whopping 39.2 as a sophomore. A fluid player who is fundamentally sound, Collins is a coach's dream in that he simply gets the job done in a workmanlike fashion and does not commit a lot of turnovers. Collins is not a big-time scorer, as he averaged 16.8 points per game as a senior and a slightly better than 17.5 points per game as a junior. To be fair, the plodding Temple offensive system doesn't help offensive numbers and many hurried shots are taken with the shot clock winding down. Collins did shoot his highest percentage as a senior at 43 percent, and his percentage rose every season. He also has good elevation on his shot and a smooth release that could allow him to improve in the future as a shooter. With a keen understanding of how to play as a point guard, Collins knows precisely how to run halfcourt sets, and he uses his height to help him make the passes he needs to. While not a flashy playmaker, Collins is an above average ball handler with an array of hesitation dribbles. He utilizes his long arms to play the passing lanes well, as his 2.8 steals a game in his junior and senior seasons can attest to. Temple never seems to have great shooters, which would explain Collins' four assists a game last season. While he does not possess a great first step, he is a crafty player who is capable of creating his own shot. Free-throw shooting is a concern with Collins. As a senior, he only shot 60 percent from the line. Although Collins' athletic ability is nothing to shout about, he should be an effective role player in the NBA because he is an unselfish player who cares more about winning than personal glory. In the beginning of his career, he would appear to be an ideal NBA backup point guard, which should land him in the mid- to late first round. (AP) Stats
