Jazz select Isaiah Collier at pick 29

Watching his highlights I'm most impressed by his change of pace, he moves like he is on skates...looks like he can sprint half the court in about three strides. His passing also looks nice, sharp and imaginative.

Yeah feel like he’s on skates on the court to me too. Skates with great brakes too.
 
i watched colliers highligjts last night and i watched draft experts rip his shooting and defense. so i watched his shooting stroke carefully. his main problems are his feet. his right foot is too far forward so he is not square to the basket. the second issue is his feet are not shoulder width apart. it almost looks like hes taking a runner with every shot. the good news is that is fairly easy to correct. drop your right leg back so its just a little ahead of your left leg and keep your feet shoulder length apart. shoot 10k shots with the new form while in g league.

We’re the only ones asking that question rn; after summer league everybody will be wondering the same. The spacing of the NBA game is so much better suited for the way he plays.

Not to mention, if you watch his highlights, at least half the threes he took were NBA range. He wasn’t taking easy threes. So while his 3pt % wasn’t great, he’s used to taking from that distance.

He’s as if DWill Tim Hardaway and Allen Iverson had a three way love child. In my eyes the three deadliest killer crossovers
 
I think his jumper looks broke. 34% isnt terrible tho. Would be awesome if he could get to 37%. Agree tho, a lot of his threes were top of the key.
 
I wasn’t too happy with the pick at the time of his selection, wasn’t upset I thought at least we got a high upside guy. But after further study I’m pretty excited about him and the fact we got him at 29

That’s true he was taking “Curry Range” shots for some weird reason.

Suspect shooting in what’s becoming a shooters League.

Yes but if you do a deep dive into the numbers he’s way better shooter than a bunch of guys that went into the lottery. He was a 34% shooter from 3 in college. Could he swing that up to 36-37% I don’t know but it’s very possible nice to finally have a young prospect where his natural position is PG. I think he just needs a few mechanical fixes and he’ll be fine.

On that not, I’ve heard he fell in the draft due to not shooting well which is super confusing because we saw guys like Castle, Holland, Buzelis, Salaun and others go much higher while not just being worse shooters, far and away worse shooters. It really isn’t close. So I don’t think you should be nitpicking at his shooting
