JC is just 21 years old, he won't turn 22 till next Sep.
As of today he is averaging
18.7 ppg
10.4 rebounds per game
2,5 assist per game
Shooting .576%
Would you believe there is only 1 other player who matches or betters each of those stats in The NBA this season to date ?
That player is Giannis, and he's 3 years older than Collins. Of course Giannis far exceeds Collins in some areas, he scores more and dishes more assist, but still.
If Collins stays healthy and follows a typical career arch, He might become a 22 ppg, 12 rebounds per game 4 assist per and .600 percent shooter by the time he's Giannis's current age.
People, that would put him among the top 10 plyers in the game as long as he also works on defense, he clearly has the tools to become a plus defender as well.
Thoughts ?
