Zach Collins: stats, last game & news

Four consecutive Nevada state titles: that's how Zach Collins made his mark in high school at Bishop Gorman. This power forward/center from North Las Vegas didn't just dominate statistically in his senior year with averages of 17.3 points and 14 rebounds — he shattered the state records for rebounds and blocks in a single season, recording 6.4 rejections per game that already showcased his exceptional defensive instincts.

The first McDonald's All-American in history to commit directly to Gonzaga out of high school, Collins immediately justified that bold choice. His single season with the Bulldogs carried him all the way to the 2017 NCAA Championship Game, where his defensive impact and ability to stretch the floor to the perimeter were outstanding. That rare versatility, combined with a remarkable basketball IQ, already made him a top NBA prospect.

His time with the junior national team at the 2015 FIBA 3x3 U18 World Championships had further confirmed his early tactical maturity. Collins possesses the valuable ability to adapt to different systems, capable of protecting the rim while punishing opponents from distance — qualities that define modern basketball.

Despite the significant injuries that marked his early NBA years, Collins bounced back to establish himself as a valuable asset in the frontcourt. His resilience and professionalism speak to a mentality forged during those years of sustained success in Nevada, where it all began.
