Jazz select Isaiah Collier at pick 29

Adding Sexton to the list is just trolling.

Ya Sexton literally played at an all star level last season already.

three things really stand out when you watch Collier
1. he plays a bully style of basketball. you can stay in front and he will still bully you for buckets
2. he's so fast. always the fastest guy on the floor
3. so many different ways to finish and a great feel when he attacks the basket

and he's a much better passer than people realize or than he showed last season with his high TO rate. people are going to be surprised at his vision and passing ability.

In regards to the bully style. Kinda like brunson?

This kid is in that rare class of athletes that are still faster than everybody even when they're handling the ball. Incredible burst and speed.

Do you think he is as fast as Sexton? If so then wow

Actually, no. They both like to put pressure on defense and penetrate to the basket, but Brunson achieves it mostly through footwork and craftiness, while Collier simply bullies collegiate players by using his strength and fully-developed body. He will not be able to do it in the NBA against players like Dort, Holiday, Jalen Brown, Mitchell, Harden, Brunson, Haliburton... He will need to become way craftier to play the same style of offense he is used to in college.

If teams are forced to put their best defender on him, we have already won that exchange.

Also, Mitchell and Harden? Please. . .

Watching his tape, I see plenty of craftiness there. Granted, he'll probably need to use his speed a bit more than body at this level, but he's got all the tools and dude looks fast on tape. I don't really see much of an issue at all from his shot either, except sometimes it looks a bit more mechanical than fluid. Usually when it's got that sort of movement to it, it's not going in. When he's in motion/rhythm, it looks really nice and goes in more often than not.

Hard to knock that at 29.

I have very mixed feelings on this. On one hand Collier was very high on my board. I think he's one of the highest potential guys in this draft because of his age and ability to get down hill and handle the ball. He's also pretty fun to watch.

On the other hand I'm disgusted by the amount of defensively limited guards the Jazz have on their roster.

 

[fishonjazz]

Crazy how similar he looks like Brunson (sans the three point shot) in these highlights.

Agreed. Very similar style around the hoop. Biggest difference to me is that Brunson makes tougher shots. But that is actually a point for Collier. Collier seems to clear space and use his craftiness better so that he gets better looks. Brunson is just insane at making the most difficult shots possible.

After watching some highlights for myself the answer is clearly no. But Sexton is probably top 3 in the entire nba in speed (might even be number 1. Though I put Fox as my number 1.) so no biggie.

not sure. But it looks like Collier has better handles and misdirections at his age. That makes speed more lethal.

 

[NAOS_pt2]

I don't see the Brunson comp at all.

If I really oversell what I see, it's half Tony Parker and half Russell Westbrook

 

[TheStormofWar]

Something that occurs to me as well and might be why the Jazz held onto Sexy so long: The Jazz are quietly building a fast as hell backcourt between Collin, Keyonte, and now Collier.

Colier will lead the league in head measurement.
