2017 NBA Mock Draft 4.0: Los Angeles Lakers pass on Lonzo Ball; Josh Jackson rises
By Tony Webb
No. 10 Sacramento Kings- Zach Collins (Gonzaga, FR, Center)
The reason Zach Collins continues to rise up the boards is potential. He only played one year at Gonzaga, which is a small sample size, but his 65 percent shooting from the field, including 47 percent from deep, gives you a glimpse at his potential.
Collins is the prototypical “new NBA big man” and he fits the mold almost to a T, as he runs the floor incredibly well for his size, creates spacing. He will need to add strength and play more basketball, but the potential is there.
The Kings have never been afraid of taking a player that hasn’t played much and the Kings are all about youth and potential these days. Jayson Tatum and Zach Collins are two solid building blocks to bring in this offseason.
