Daimion Collins is a ticking bomb about to  explode but who will be the victim

The more we watch young Daimion Collins adapt to the collegiate game we are starting to realize he has unlimited potential waiting to be unleashed. The question is which team will be the unlucky one he ignites against.

Collins was in the starting lineup for the first time replacing Brooks. While we have seen Collins spell Tshiebwe this season, especially with the Big O getting in foul trouble we haven’t seen them together very often.

Collins was asked about that by the media after the game playing both inside and out.

"“I’m pretty comfortable with both because in high school I played outside and inside so you know being able to play with that versatility feels real good.”"

What we got to see was more free-flowing and roaming Collins looking for open lanes to drive, balls to reject, and a chance to play away from the basket instead of being the post under the basket.

At the other end on defense, he can be difficult for teams to defend and he sprints the court very well.

Collins and Tshiebwe truly can exist on the floor at the same time and need to be.  Ware can be the one to spell Tshiebwe for breathers but Collins needs to be on the court.

Getting called for a goal-tending who cares. The way he elevated to swap the ball away was smooth and effortless.
