Outlook:
His offense: He can score from anywhere on the court. He scores most of his points from offensive rebounds. He can take bigger players to the basket because of his quickness, and smaller post players aren't strong enough to stop him in the post. Anton has a nice jump shoot from ten to fifteen feet, and has the ability to step out and knock down the three pointers. For a big man he has a great sense of where he's teammates are, he also has an impressive ability to pass the ball.
His Defense:
Collins loves defense, he can block anyone's shoot. Even bigger players are at the risk of getting their shoot blocked. He doesn't run the floor like a normal big man, he runs with no disadvantages. He can guard the bigger post players because he's as strong as them and quicker. He's able to defend small and power forwards because he's as quick as them and majority of the time he's stronger then them. He likes to do all the dirty work, rather it's saving a loose ball, diving on the floor, setting a hard screen, taking a charge, or defending the point guard. He will do what ever it takes to win.
This 6-10 4or 5 man showed signs of why he is playing professionally. However he is not happy with contract in Columbia and is looking. He can shoot well from 15ft. and in and has a nice jump hook in the post. He has great passing skills for a big man.
