His athletic ability is unreal for a guy who's his size. That is a very rare trait and why he's going to the combine.

Then why doesn't Manchester United own his rights? "His athletic ability is unreal." Yes, but his skill is s**t.
Guys in the NBA can shoot. Really, really, really well. KA shot 57% from the floor (layups), but 51% from the FT line and 2/15 from 3 (0.133). He can't shoot.
Collins shot 65% from the field, 48% from 3, and 74% from the line in his 1 year of college. THAT'S potential.
Smart NBA executives don't just say "he's tall and fast, draft him." There's only 2 rounds, right? In the NFL there are . . . what . . . 74 rounds and 18,000 players drafted? Sure they'll throw a draft pick at someone just to see how it pans out.
