Collins has been a player that's seen his name in trade rumors way more often than not. When he was still a member of the Atlanta Hawks, he was seemingly in trade chatter every season until they finally opted to move him to the Jazz this past offseason. Even this year when the Jazz were struggling early on, he found himself in trade rumors. But that's quieted down now that the team has been playing much better with Collins being one of the driving forces behind that.

This season, Collins has started 39 of the 41 games he's played in. He's been averaging 13.8 points per game, 7.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists with splits of 49.9 percent shooting from the field, 35.6 percent shooting from the three point line and 80 percent shooting from the free throw line.
