No. 7 pick - Chicago Bulls select John Collins

The Chicago Bulls need a high-energy player in their frontcourt who can score points and defend stoutly. John Collins fits the bill quite well despite his lack of outside shooting - mainly due to his athleticism and defensive ability.

Collins has had a sneakily good rookie campaign for what is probably the worst team in the entire league. Playing as an impact player from the bench, the 6'10" power forward-center brings much-needed energy to a Hawks frontcourt that sorely lacks it. His per-game averages of 10.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in only 21.3 minutes played project him as a Clint Capela-type of player on teams which rely on pick-and-rolls heavily.
