I like what NYNY said. Collins looks like he has potential to be a solid NBA starting PG. I'd imagine as a regular starter, it wouldn't be a stretch for him to average 12ppg/5apg/4rpg over the course of a season, and perhaps better than that.
Ron Harper was mostly a SG for most of his career, until he reinvented himself w/ Phil Jackson as a PG.
I don't know if we should read into this too much, but Walt Frazier was outspoken about wanting to work w/ Collins. I don't know if he's ever spoken about mentoring/teaching any Knick guards in the past. Walt clearly sees some amazing potential in Collins (he sees himself in a less developed form needing nurturing). It'll be interesting if 1) he every harnesses it, and if he does... if he'll even be a Knick by the time that happens.
