veteran Texas Southern forward with real March-tourney muscle
Tonnie Collier’s clearest value is as a sturdy, battle-tested forward who has produced in meaningful moments for Texas Southern; in the 2014-15 season, he averaged 7.3 points and 3.1 rebounds while shooting .417 from the field and .776 at the line, and he also popped for 15 points in the SWAC title game and 10 against Arizona in the NCAA Tournament[9][4][3]. He looks like the kind of low-drama, high-competitiveness fit coaches love: physical, reliable, and comfortable in pressure games[3][4][7].
