Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Continues promising rookie season
Rotowire
Collier provided 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and six assists in 31 minutes during Sunday's 128-102 loss to the Timberwolves.
The rookie guard continues to be a revelation as a distributor in 2024-25, leading the Jazz in assists Sunday. With Keyonte George and Jordan Clarkson both nursing foot issues, Collier could see additional opportunities to showcase his playmaking skills going forward. Giveaways remain an issue for Collier, who's logging 3.4 turnovers per game post-All-Star break, but he's averaged 10.9 points, 7.4 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 29.8 minutes across his last 14 games.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Team-high nine assists in loss
Rotowire
Collier totaled five points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine assists, five rebounds and two blocks in 29 minutes during Saturday's 130-110 loss to the Clippers.
Collier struggled from the field Saturday, though he did record a team-high mark in assists and a season-best two swats. The rookie has carved out a significant role with the Jazz while dishing out assists at an efficient rate, and he has averaged 11.4 points, 8.3 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 30.4 minutes per contest in his last 10 appearances (nine starts).
Collier posted 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound, 10 assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 112-111 loss to Indiana.
The 29th overall pick in the 2024 Draft continues to look good as part of Utah's starting five. Collier has scored in double digits in eight of the last 11 games while producing his first three career double-doubles, averaging 12.4 points, 8.1 assists, 3.7 boards, 0.9 steals and 0.9 threes over that stretch while shooting a very respectable 46.3 percent from the floor. Given Keyonte George's continued shooting struggles -- he has shot 37.3 percent from the field during that same period -- it doesn't seem as though Collier will be returning to the bench any time soon.

Over his last four outings, Collier has produced averages of 15.5 points, 9.8 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers on 42.6 percent shooting from the field.
