I know you think you've got a great sense of humor when you type **** like this, but let me clarify a couple things:
1. You don't.
2. This is another crystal clear example of you being a little bitch. Stop it.
It's like you developed your sense of humor from the Big Bang Theory, because it's similarly unfunny and autistic.
Hamstring tear in September. They hope to have him back by the trade deadline.

Those numbers don't mean much when you average 1.2 3PA and 5.8 FGA.
He's very much a negative player both on offense and defense. I don't make the rules.
From a pass/fail point of view most of our young guys are failing including collier. I wish we had insight on the skills each guy is trying to develop.

I'm becoming a little frustrated with Flip. Way too passive out there and has lost some confidence in his 3pt shot.
And while he is a good passer, he hasn't developed into an exceptional passer.

I don't think Collier is failing, he just has a huge uphill battle to being relevant in the NBA outside of being a 3rd string PG because he's such a passive shooter.
But he has improved his shooting. His open C&S attempts look better than last year, now he just has to translate those into being a bit higher volume.
Or he needs to develop some kind of in between games that makes him a threat in the 10-15' area like a TJ McConnell.
I would call this season a success for him (not a massive one, but he has improved), but the Jazz may very well move past him if they really want to start competing.
The only player I would say is flat out failing is Sensabaugh. He's a 3rd year guy and he has regressed despite being put in positions to succeed (always gets the easiest defensive assignment and has plenty of open shots)
I would also say Flip is on the cusp of that too, but he has more leeway as a 2nd year player.
Hendricks health recovery gives him a pass, but if he looks the same to start next year from an athletic standpoint his career is over

I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the losing / tanking is really getting to him.
Hasn't looked like he's having fun out there for a while now.
He's the kind of player that kind of illustrates the negatives of putting to much on their plate because failure does really get to him.
Keyonte took that failure and it really motivated him into his 3rd year, but Flip (like many other of our young prospects) is in danger of getting drafted over and/or signed over in free agency. This might be his last year on the Jazz to get a lot of consistent opportunity to prove himself.
I'm not really discouraged by any of our rookie contract players this year, but I'm not really encouraged either (besides Keyonte of course). I don't think any of them, as they are playing this season, would ideally be part of a team that is trying to make the playoffs, as in our team next year.
This offseason will be interesting because the FO is likely going to be bringing in a few rotation players to address our gaps. It will be interesting to see who the FO really believes in and which rookie contract players are part of the rotation next season.
