    Maybe it's just wishful thinking but I think we got a player here!I like his ability to come into the game set screens for Franchise and The Cat and knock down the open J,and while he's had his problems getting acclimated to the NBa game and more importantly the rocket's running style I think the potential for him to fit right in and contribute is definantly there.I think the use of Collier as a screen guy on the pick-and-roll play with Francis,Cat,orShandon can be a good option for this team and it doesn't have to be just Collier setting the screens players like Dream,MoTay,and Kenny Thomas also have the ability to be succesfull in this kind of set because all have the bodies to set good screens and make the defense pay for sagging into the paint to stop the penetrator....It's still way too early for this many haters to be going on and on about how he has no game when I think it's just a matter of him finding his niche and playing his game.
    That is all!

    I thought Cat was on that bandwagon first.
    He must be currently offline.

    I am a little hesitant but some earily morning cognac has given me the balls to hop on this bandwagon.

    I am jumping OFF the Collier bandwagon, and joining the Carlos Rogers bandwagon.

    After getting completely schooled by David Robinson, Collier needs some time to develop. In my humble opinion the number 3 center and power forward should be Los.

    I think Yinka Dare had a bigger bandwagon!

    i hope all the wheels fall off your stupid wagon...Collier sucks..
    He is going to be the worst player ever in the nba....EVER..
    whens the last time you saw a fat white guy succeed in the NBA?
    and i say all this with the utmost positivity and optimism.
    as nicely as possible..no offense to anyone

    when will it start to almost break you?

    holden... you act like hes a huge 35% body fat guy. he's not. and with nba seasoning he will be much more ripped by next season or even later htis season. i was writing him off as a rejct before also, but now i think he will get much better.

    Yeah, that really sounds like you say that with "the utmost positivity and optimism". No offense Holden, but you're full of puppy poo.

    Let's add Vlade Divac to that list

    Oh, also that guy from the pistons...

    ummm.. Laimbeer? Yeah, that's the one.

    Luc Longley has 3 championship rings and is being paid many millions (is that a success?)

    Matt Geiger is quite a good player

    Will Perdue has had his fair share of success!!

    Greg Ostertag certainly has a place in this league!!

    If Gheorghe Muresan still had knees he'd be ok!

    Brad Miller just signed for over 4mill a year with the Bulls

    Vitaly Potapenko is no doubt a success

    That's just a few guys who are in the league RIGHT NOW (Laimbeer excepted) who are "fat white success stories!"

    Sure none of them are all-stars, but those of US on the Collier bandwagon don't expect him to be an all-star. We just want a solid backup center - there's more to basketball then highlight reel plays!
