25. John Collins

John Collins showed tremendous progress at Wake Forest, so much so that he earned a First Round Pick (19th Overall) in 2017 by Atlanta.

The Power Forward was a Second Team All-Rookie Selection, starting 26 of his 74 Games, and averaging 10.5 Points per Game.  He shot that number up to 19.5 points as a sophomore and was now in the starting five.  Collins continued his upward trajectory, posting a PER over 20 over three years in a row (2018-19 to 2020-21)

Collins was less featured in his last two seasons, and his PPG in 2022-23 (13.1) was his lowest since his rookie year.  The Hawks traded Collins to Utah in 2023, thus ending his run with Atlanta.
