John Collins Bio
John Collins is one of the most exciting up-and-coming NBA stars. At 6’10, he has incredible size and athleticism for his position and plays as a power forward for the Atlanta Hawks. He was originally drafted in the first round of 2017 by the Hawks with pick 19 out of Wake Forest University.
Collins played four seasons at Wake Forest averaging 16 points, 9 rebounds, and 1 block per game in his senior season leading to him being selected to the All-ACC First Team. After getting drafted by Atlanta, he quickly became one of their cornerstones along with fellow young star Trae Young. In just two seasons in Atlanta, Collins has become an all-star caliber player showcasing his scoring ability while also helping space out defenses due to his shooting ability from deep.
In addition to his on court presence, Collins is also someone who gives back off the court through volunteering or donating money/ goods which makes him a great role model for fans around the globe thanks to how active he is within both communities near him and globally speaking too! The John Collins Foundation focuses on supporting causes such as education reform focusing mainly on children underprivileged that don’t have access to proper educational resources or opportunities due to poverty or other outside influences like crime rates etc.. He looks forward seeing what it can do for those that need help beyond basketball related matters since giving back has always been apart of who he is since attending High School & College even if it doesn’t make headlines all over ESPN everyday!
On top of giving back off court, John Collins continues making himself better each day on court where this season so far hes averaged 22 points per game (which would be good enough for career high) while adding 7 rebounds coupled with 1 block showing how much further ahead hes progressed than before when compared year after year plus still having plenty more room left over growth side wise too! With John continuing improving plus maintaining same passion towards community work often times go forgotten but will never be lost sighted given current state world today especially given recent events involving social justice movements happening around nation globally could only see increase meaning greater causes deserving attention come next few years so stay tuned according continue live life positively mentor others similarly positive manner bring about positive change wherever might lie path ahead lies not only benefit self but many others too!
