Draft Profile: UCLA PG Darren Collison
 | Darren Collison #2 College: UCLA Class: Senior NBA Position: Point Guard Height: 6'2" Weight: 166 lbs Birthday: 8/23/1987 |
Player Biography: As a freshman, Darren Collison played sparingly for the Bruins, backing up current Lakers point guard Jordan Farmar. He stepped into the starting role his sophomore season and excelled, averaging just under 13 points and 6 assists, good enough for All-Pac-10 First Team honors. As a junior, Collison's scoring increased and his assists diminished, but his defense, his best skill, remained a constant. Following his senior season, which saw his scoring plateau and his assist totals increase, Collison remains a solid, though unspectacular, point guard prospect.
