(6/10) ⚠️ The Aaron Gordon Problem… Is John Collins A Potential Answer?

Aaron Gordon (2025 Playoffs):
• XXXX FG% at the rim
• XXXX 3PT%
• XXXX ORB%
• XXXX AST%
• +1.2 EPM

John Collins (2025):
• XXXX FG% at the rim
• XXXX 3PT%
• XXX ORB%
• XXXX AST%
• +0.9 EPM

I don’t have to tell you how good Aaron Gordon was for the Nuggets against the Clippers in the playoffs. As if a game-winning tip-dunk wasn’t enough, he dominated the glass, cut behind defenders, and served as a low-usage connector who punished mismatches. 

Collins isn’t Gordon, but his numbers last season suggest he could potentially play a “lite” version of that role for the Clippers. He finishes just as well at the rim as Gordon, hit a higher percentage from three, and contributed similar rebounding and passing rates.
