He averaged 8.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 0.9 steals per game across 71 appearances (46 starts) as a rookie.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Iffy to suit up Wednesday
Rotowire
Collier is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right hamstring soreness.
The right hamstring issue is a new concern for Collier, who hasn't missed a game since Dec. 19. The rookie first-round pick has scored at least 15 points in six of his last seven appearances, averaging 15.9 points, 7.1 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 31.9 minutes per contest in that seven-game span.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Big double-double in loss
Rotowire
Collier finished Wednesday's 143-105 loss to the Rockets with 22 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and one block in 32 minutes.
It's the 10th double-double of the season for the rookie point guard. In contrast, the 22 points represent his best scoring effort since Jan. 12. Collier is staying productive to close out the campaign, averaging 12.8 points, 6.5 assists, 4.1 boards, 1.3 steals and 0.9 threes over the last 12 games even as the Jazz try to secure the worst record in the NBA.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Standout performance in loss
Rotowire
Collier totaled 17 points (6-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 110-106 loss to the Hornets.
Collier continued his late-season resurgence, turning in another impressive two-way performance. The Jazz began leaning into their youth a little earlier than expected this season, allowing Collier to step into a sizeable role. Although his production has fluctuated, he has proven to be arguably the team's best ball-handler, a welcome sight given the team is littered with talented big men. In his past seven games, Collier is averaging 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 29.5 minutes per game.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Scores 21 points in blowout loss
Rotowire
Collier ended with 21 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 140-103 loss to the Grizzlies.
Collier was a bright spot during an embarrassing showing by the Jazz, who have lost nine of their last 10 games. Jordan Clarkson's (foot) absence has hampered Utah's backcourt depth, but Collier hasn't missed a beat as the team's de facto starter. He's logged a serviceable rookie campaign so far, averaging 8.1 points, 6.2 assists and 3.3 rebounds over 65 games.

Rotowire
Collier recorded 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and four steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 win over the Wizards.
Collier led the team in assists Wednesday while also tying a season high with four steals. With the rebuilding Jazz appearing to begin managing the workloads of their key contributors, the rookie guard should see plenty of ball-handling responsibilities to close out the season. Collier has averaged 11.8 points, 6.4 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 30.0 minutes over 11 games in March.
Collier notched 19 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-9 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 125-122 loss to Washington.
Collier has been enjoying steady minutes as the starting point guard for the Jazz, and the rookie floor general is making the most of the opportunity. He's handed out six or more assists in six of his eight appearances since the All-Star break, averaging 11.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 1.1 steals per contest in that eight-game stretch.

Rotowire

He's connected on just 27.3 percent of his three-point attempts over that span, which is an area he'll look to improve on over the final stretch of the regular season.

Collier posted his seventh straight game of distributing at least eight assists, but it did come with a career-high seven turnovers. Overall, the rookie first-rounder has been a revelation for the Jazz ahead of the All-Star break.

Rotowire
Collier recorded 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and 10 assists over 33 minutes during Monday's 132-113 loss to the Lakers.
Collier seems to be growing more comfortable in a starting role, showing elite vision and decision-making. He's dished out double-digit dimes in four of his last five appearances while handing six or more assists in 10 games in a row. Over that 10-game stretch, the rookie out of USC is averaging 11.9 points and 9.1 assists per game.

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.

Rotowire
Collier totaled 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and nine assists across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 114-103 loss to Golden State.
Collier has started three games in a row for the Jazz, and that's likely to stick for the foreseeable future as the franchise continues to lean on its younger players. Collier has 12 starts to his name so far, posting averages of 9.8 points, 8.0 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 0.7 three-pointers.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Shifts back to bench
Rotowire
Collier won't start Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City.
With Collin Sexton back in Utah's starting backcourt after resting in Monday's game against New Orleans, Collier will revert to the second unit Wednesday against the Thunder. The rookie guard has averaged 12.5 points, 9.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 threes in 32.6 minutes over his last six games, so Collier should maintain a significant role from the Jazz's bench.

Rotowire
Collier recorded 20 points (7-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 123-119 overtime loss to the Pelicans.
Collier posted his second double-double of the campaign and is starting to make some noise for the Jazz as the team deals with so many key injuries. 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. If the Jazz are sellers at the deadline, workloads like these could become the norm for the rookie.
