low-usage freshman guard still finding her footing for Hawai‘i
In the 2025-26 season, Ella Collins has been a low-volume bench guard for Hawai‘i, with modest scoring production and limited minutes, but her appeal is more about upside than box-score pop. She was a combo guard recruit with Australian national-team background, which suggests a steady guard skill set and room to grow into a more reliable two-way contributor. For a team, the fit question is simple: if you want an experienced, high-usage scorer, she is not that yet; if you want a developmental guard with international pedigree and some perimeter versatility, she is worth a closer look.[1][8]
