Obviously in pretty good shape, why can t the Clippers give their new forward players more playing time?

In a previous NBA Cup game, the Los Angeles Clippers, playing at home, defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 126-124 with Kawhi Leonard's buzzer-beater. After this game, the Clippers' record improved to 3 wins and 2 losses; while the Pelicans, who suffered five consecutive losses, dropped to 0 wins and 5 losses, and they still have not won a victory.

In this game, the performance of the Clippers' new substitute striker John Collins was actually quite good, but his playing time was still obviously limited. Collins played 18 minutes and 50 seconds, shooting 6 of 10 from the field, 1 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, and 1 of 1 free throw. He scored 14 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist. He also had 1 turnover and a plus-minus of -4. Collins also showed a very comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. He scored a lot of points through various methods. He also seized the opportunity to create a threat to his opponents. Collins' performance on the defensive end is also relatively positive, and his advantages in athletic ability are also quite obvious. Collins's effect on the court is actually very good, but his playing time is too little, and he has no way to produce more gorgeous statistics under this situation. In other words, the Clippers coaching staff still doesn't understand how to use Collins.

In the NBA regular season last season, Collins was affected by injuries and only played 40 times on behalf of his old club Utah Jazz in 82 games, averaging 30.5 minutes per game. Minutes, he averaged 18.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block per game, as well as 2.6 turnovers and 2.9 fouls. He shot 52.7% from the field, 39.9% from the three-point range, and 84.8% from the free throw line. In the previous NBA preseason, Collins played a total of 4 times, averaging 17 minutes per game. He averaged 12 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. He also had 1.5 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. He shot 59.3% from the field, 57.1% from the three-point range, and 85.7% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Collins has averaged 24.1 minutes per game in the first five games, averaging 11.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1.2 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game. He also has 2.2 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. His shooting percentage is 58.5%, three-point shooting percentage is 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage is 72.7%.

Collins' performance in these games is actually quite good. He can also play a very good role on both offense and defense in his limited playing time. The only problem is that even if Collins' performance is so stable, he still cannot get enough trust and support. The Clippers traded away powerful scorer Norman Powell this summer before acquiring Collins from the Jazz. As a result, Collins' playing time was so limited, which seemed a bit incomprehensible. Collins is clearly capable of providing more support to the team and is in pretty good shape. Why can't the Clippers improve his playing time and his tactical status on the court?
