The casual fan and media consensus about collison is that he's a backup pg.
I think he's better than that. His struggles in Dallas (and now both our PGs share that history) continue to follow him.
The pg position for the team overall was a weakness. The dropoff from DC to Ray/Ramon was massive. And when DC was hurt, a Ray/Andre duo had to be nearly nba worst. Neither are guys you want to depend on at this point in their careers.
That didn't mean we had a strong need to draft a PG however. Improve, yes. Draft, no. And rondo is a step up. A risky one, but every single draft pick is just as big of a risk if not bigger.
The biggest weakness on this team is defense. It has been for almost a decade now. WCS has the potential to be the kind of guy that makes a massive difference on that end. He plugs the biggest hole on this team. I'm of the opinion you start WCS from day 1. I understand the floor spacing argument, but that discounts rondo at his peak was one of the greatest passers you'll ever see, and dmc is also very high level. And WCS, while not a floor spacer at this point, is not someone you can ignore either. You forget about him he's right there for easy dunks. And he seems like a very quick learner. I can live with the growing pains.
And how about his? The Sacramento Kings actually have legit options on who to start at PF! There's a real live debate. Last year, JT wasn't a great option, but he still was, to me, the clear best option on the team. Landry? Reggie? Just not nba starters. Koufos is a different story.
