Collins was too skinny last year. He will need to put on 15 pounds of muscle to be able to compete in the paint.

I don't see Chest as being big enough to play the 5 or a strong power forward position.

I think we need to pick up someone in the portal!

Collins was a great rebounder in high school, so I think the ceiling is high with him. I agree that he needs to get stronger, but he doesn't necessarily need 15 pounds of muscle. Enrique Freeman was the top college rebounder this year, and he's 6'7" but only 205. Collins is 6'9 and 202, which is a little skinny, but 15 pounds would probably slow him down. Rebounding is about strength, effort, positioning, and length. 5 extra pounds of muscle would probably help, coupled with the rest of the intangibles.
