PF 1 - John Collins (Atlanta Hawks)
The Atlanta Hawks are having a really bad season, just as they were expected to. They have just 6 wins out of a possible 27 this season, settling for the 14th spot in the Eastern Conference. Worse still, they've won just one of their last five matches and face the Boston Celtics in another tough game.
Trae Young had become the face of the team at the start of the season. But John Collins has now returned, and he has started playing like a really good basketball player.

Collins has been tearing it up since his return from an ankle injury; he's almost averaging a double double this season, with more than 18 points per game and 9 rebounds as well.
In his last game against the Dallas Mavericks, he scored 20 points and grabbed a massive 17 rebounds as well. His defensive numbers will get better as the season progresses, but his game already looks very encouraging.
Alternative pick: Jaren Jackson Jr (Memphis Grizzlies)
