I hope you're right about Collins, Span Inq, but the inside word is that the Nets never projected him to be a 35 min per game guy, just a solid 15 min a nite back-up type. You're right about the finals last year; He did a better job on Shaq than McCullough or Williams, but that ain't saying much. Most of his playing time was because the Nets were using the "We have 18 fouls to give at center" strategy.
