Every team wants their own “unicorn”. I absolutely hate that term, just hate hate hate, and not because I dislike unicorns (the mythological creature), but because… I don’t even know why. Just don’t ever call Giannis a unicorn around me. I will look angrily at you, and then call the cops and tell them that you smell like rye whiskey and you have a gun that you’re waving at children.
The Trailblazers, for whatever it’s worth, have no need to continue their search. Zach Collins might be termed a “unicorn”, because he’s freakishly thin, tall as heck, and has limited jumpshooting ability. Basically, he’s like a worse Porzingis. At least that’s what he was last year. This year, he’s looking way better. He was doing stuff in the playoffs last year, and that success has carried over. He doesn’t look any less skeletal, but plenty of skellies have had great careers in the NBA.
Note: I’m watching the Lakers game and I just saw an ad for a “Five Dollar Chalupa Box”. I might have to cut this description short, people. Sorry. Congrats to Collins on the career high and congrats to the good people at Taco Bell HQ for convincing me I need chalupas RIGHT NOW.
