The Suns have claimed 30-year old center Jarron Collins off waivers from the Portland Trailblazers. Collins played in 26 games (3 starts) for the Jazz last season and he averaged 7.7 minutes, 1.5 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game. He has now played in 480 games (206 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 16.9 minutes, 4.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. This was a good move for the Suns who desperately needed a back up center with Robin Lopez injured. Look for Collins to provide defense and rebounding behind Channing Frye until Lopez is ready to return.
