Goals for Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins for the 2022 season: No.3) Become the true third option.

The Hawks now have their No. 1 and No. 2 options in Trae Young and Murray. However, there is a place in the team for the third option. Currently, with the way he played in the playoffs De’Andre Hunter is looking like the most viable third option.

However, Collins has such potential to be that third option. We are only two seasons removed from Collins being the second option, albeit on a much weaker team. Collins has developed into a much more mature player since that time and has the potential to be even better than the 2019-20 version of himself.

Under the current team structure, Collins is not going to average those numbers again. However, he needs to be the player who is the outlet when either Young or Murray are under pressure. He also needs to have stretches in games where he is unstoppable.

The Hawks need an aggressive John Collins if they are going to compete at the highest level in the Eastern Conference this season. If he can re-establish himself as a force for the Hawks, the sky is the limit, he is just that good.
