Nick Collison: Our future hope?

Collison has recorded two huge games lately, including his current career high in scoring and rebounding (29 points, 21 rebounds). He is actively getting in the paint and competing for rebounds and shots. He's playing more smart on defense, and by grabbing the defensive rebounds, he is preventing second chance points (especially in the paint) by opponents. Second-chance points have been the key in most of the Sonics losses, and the key to second-chance points are rebounds. So thankfully, we have Collison to start coming to the rescue. Can he become a real role-leading player on the team? We will find out soon. Because so far, he is the only one doing something about the Sonics' lack of rebounding. Here we go, as the Sonics play the Utah Jazz tonight, and that means one of the league's top five rebounders, Carlos Boozer. Can we prevent the second-chance points? Soon we will find out.
