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.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Solid showing vs. Grizz
Rotowire
Collier recorded 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and three steals across 29 minutes during Monday's 97-95 win over Memphis in the Salt Lake City Summer League.
Collier looked sharp off the bench in this one as he drilled a pair of triples and led the reserves in scoring. He also showcased his ability elsewhere by dishing out a team-high six assists while holding his own on the defensive end. Collier's performance Monday evening was a promising first step for the rookie, and he figures to see plenty of chances to shine as Summer League action rolls on.
