The basketball world is currently stuck between the end of free agency and the beginning of summer workout videos. So, today we continue our coverage of next year's projected stats with the help of Basketball-Reference.

We have already discussed Trae Young and Dejounte Murray's projected stats for the 2022-23 season. So, naturally, we move on to the player who has received the most media attention this summer - John Collins. 

Last week, we declared that Collins officially beat the trade charges and was safe for the foreseeable future. Now Basketball-Reference is predicting an increase in Collins'  production next season. Below are the website's projections for Collins' Per 36 stats for next season compared to last season.
