Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
Collins would certainly be an interesting acquisition for the Raptors.
This team loves playmaking forwards. Between Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes, and O.G. Anunoby, they’ve got three of them in their starting lineup. Should they be interested in a play finishing forward?
Yes. Collins has a skillset that nobody on this team currently does. He’s a great lob catcher in pick-and-roll sets, and he can also pop out of those sets to shoot. He should make each of those 3 starters better.
In all likelihood, he’d be a reserve in Toronto.

Still, his ability to play both the 4 and the 5 should allow him to find ample playing time on these Raptors.
Should the Hawks part with such a versatile player?
