Are all abilities overestimated? The performance of the Clippers new forward players is far below everyone s expectations?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Charlotte Hornets at home 131-116. After this game, the Clippers' record, which ended their three-game losing streak, improved to 5-11, and their ranking rose to 11th in the Western Conference; while the Hornets' record, which suffered a five-game losing streak, has dropped to 4-12, continuing to rank 12th in the Eastern Conference.

In this game, although the Clippers finally won the victory relatively smoothly, the performance of the team's new starting forward John Collins (John Collins) was still relatively average. Collins played 25 minutes and 33 seconds, making 4 of 10 shots, 1 of 4 from beyond the three-point line, and 1 of 1 free throws. He scored 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 steal. He also had 5 fouls and a plus-minus of +6. Collins' efficiency on the offensive end is still relatively average, his scoring ability is still not fully utilized, his outside shooting stability is still relatively average, and his technique and ball-holding offensive ability are still very limited. Collins's attitude on the defensive end is relatively positive, and he does a pretty good job in rebounding. However, the problem is that his personal defensive ability is not particularly outstanding, and there are also certain problems with his concentration on the defensive end. Collins' performance was not bad, but there was still a certain gap compared with everyone's expectations for him.

In the NBA regular season last season, Collins was affected by injuries and only played 40 times on behalf of his old club Utah Jazz in 82 games, averaging 30.5 minutes per game. Minutes, he averaged 18.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block per game, as well as 2.6 turnovers and 2.9 fouls. He shot 52.7% from the field, 39.9% from the three-point range, and 84.8% from the free throw line. In the previous NBA preseason, Collins played a total of 4 times, averaging 17 minutes per game. He averaged 12 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. He also had 1.5 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. He shot 59.3% from the field, 57.1% from the three-point range, and 85.7% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Collins has averaged 25.3 minutes per game in the first 16 games, averaging 11.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks per game. He also has 1.8 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. His shooting percentage is 49.7%, three-point shooting percentage is 31.7%, and free throw shooting percentage is 79.4%.

Collins is the Clippers' most important signing this summer. In order to get him, the team gave away an excellent scorer like Norman Powell. However, Collins' performance after joining the team has been tepid, and he has never been able to meet everyone's expectations for him. Collins' characteristics on the offensive end are not very outstanding, his scoring ability is somewhat overestimated, and the stability of his outside shooting has never been ideal. His ability on the defensive end is also relatively average, which also makes it difficult for him to have a good effect on the court. Collins has been with the team for a while, and he can only perform like this, which is indeed a little worse.
