Clippers assistant Van Gundy praised forward Collins for his defense: rebounds, mid-range shooting, dunks
8:22pm, 28 September 2025【Basketball】
NBA Clippers assistant coach Van Gundy is currently creating the defensive tactics of new and old players in training camp recently. He was interviewed by the team reporter and praised the new forward John Collins' positive role on the defensive end: "
You must praise John Collins' explosive athletic ability and defensive talent. He is really a perfect complement to the Clippers' power forward position in recent seasons. Collins' pick-and-roll tactics with Harden in training is excellent, and he can complete empty cuts and dunks at will. The key is that he has stable mid-range shooting and long-term three-point shooting skills. His height is also very advantageous, and his role on the defensive end is too significant!"

"The Clippers have only relied on Zubac and Leonard support the defensive system in the interior, and now it is completely different. John Collins is added to the starting lineup. The three of them are quickly integrated in training, so that the team has truly improved on both offense and defense, completely making the Clippers more solid in the interior defensive barrier. I am looking forward to the three of them having a more tacit understanding of the chemistry! "

"The current Clippers' lineup rotation is indeed more sufficient than any season, especially on the defensive end, the strength has been enhanced. Last season, the team's defensive efficiency has always been in the top 5 of the league. With the addition of John Collins, Lopez, and Chris Paul in the offseason, they have richer experience. I believe that the Clippers' defensive end will be better in the new season!"
