Yuri Collins (smoovYC1) already has five games this season with at least 13 assists. CBB_Central on Saint Louis’s eye-popping and audacious point guard, and what makes him so special
he’s not counting assists. Well, at least not usually. But when 20 assists in a single game is achievable, you have to at least try, right?
“There’s guys with feel [for the game] and then there’s guys like him,” Billikens coach Travis Ford says. “I don’t regret my decision at all,” Collins says. “A lot of people still tell me all the time, ‘You should have went here, you should have went there, your [NBA] chances would have been better,’ but I feel like I’m exactly where I belong.”
“In the game that he had 20 assists the other night, there were 5–7 plays where I said, ‘Wow,’” Ford says. “You don’t see it coming. He sees things so far in advance and he trusts his teammates that they’ll keep running, keep cutting.” Ford says, for the most part, he’s willing to live with the occasional head-scratcher as a tax for the brilliance Collins so often produces.
“Everybody wants to score. And if he wanted to, Yuri could average 20 points per game. He can get to his spots so easy and he can score the ball,” Ford says. “What I love about him is he gets a feel for the game as the game is going on, which games he needs to score, which games he needs to run the offense and set everybody up. And it’s usually all based on how teams are playing him.”
