Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Leads Utah in steals Sunday
Rotowire
Collier accumulated two assists, two steals and one rebound in 12 minutes during Sunday's 105-104 loss to the Lakers.
Collier led the team in steals during his limited run Sunday. The rookie has seen a decrease in playing time over his last five games, during which he has surpassed 20 minutes only once, averaging 1.8 points and 3.0 assists across 14.8 minutes per game.
Collier will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Suns, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
With Keyonte George (foot) returning from a one-game absence, Collier will slide back to the bench. The rookie logged his first NBA start in Saturday's win over the Spurs, during which he recorded seven points (3-9 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 25 minutes
Collier contributed seven points (3-9 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Saturday's 111-110 win over San Antonio.
Collier failed to get a shot to fall from beyond the arc, but that didn't stop him from contributing elsewhere. He packed the stat sheet in his first NBA start, filling in admirably for Keyonte George (foot). Collier should fall back into a bench role following George's return to health, but Saturday was a promising step for the rookie out of USC.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Logs garbage-time run in NBA debut
Rotowire
Collier (hamstring) played the final 4:13 of Thursday's game against the Bucks, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG), one turnover and no other statistics.
Well after the Bucks had sewn up the victory, Collier checked into the game and made his NBA debut after he had missed the Jazz's first seven contests while recovering from the right hamstring strain he suffered during the preseason. Patty Mills continued to operate as the primary backup to starting point guard Keyonte George on Thursday, but given that the 36-year-old Mills is on an expiring deal for a 1-7 Jazz squad, expect Collier -- the 29th overall pick in June's draft -- to eventually move into a spot on the second unit at some point this season.
