What happened: Daniss Jenkins connected with John Collins on an alley-oop lob during Tuesday's action. Collins finished the play at the rim after receiving the high pass from Jenkins.
Why it matters: The connection highlights growing offensive synergy between the two players during the 2026-27 campaign. Daniss Jenkins continues to carve out offensive opportunities as a primary distributor. Collins provides a reliable interior rim-running threat to complement perimeter playmaking.
By the numbers: In 2026-27 through 9 games, Jenkins is averaging 11.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. Collins has recorded 9.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 0.6 assists per game in 2026-27 through 9 games.
What to watch: Both players look to maintain their offensive rhythm as the regular season schedule continues. Further rotations will test whether Jenkins continues to generate high-percentage scoring opportunities around the basket.
