Is Darren Collison good? It seems that he’s always getting shuffled around. Fanbases get excited that they now have a “real” point guard, and then by the end of the year they hate him. I don’t get it. He seems fine to me. But he got traded for Ian Mahinmi. That’s not a good portent.
The Clippers are the latest team to get excited about him, but this time he doesn’t even have the chance to start. Lowered expectations might be good for him. Chris Paul always makes his backups look good; remember Collison’s rookie year? Maybe it’s time to realize that he isn’t really a starting quality point in this age of dominant PGs.
