Look at what happened in Houston once they added some actual NBA vet talent. It wasn't even top shelf, but their young players have come along faster.

Houston growth (imho) has a lot to do with Ime Udoku. He was the coach that took the Celtics from good - great up to great - elite. He is a good coach. Horny for staffers, but a good development coach. Repeating it in Houston is super compelling for me.
 
Let’s get to the more critical question:

We still get to call him Thwomp, right? That doesn’t change now that he’s good?

Kia Rookie Ladder: Stephon Castle leads way; Kel'el Ware moves into Top 5

The newest Kia Rookies of the Month -- Stephon Castle and Kel'el Ware -- shine as changes abound in the Top 10.

Considering how long he’s been getting real minutes making the top ten is pretty darn impressive!

He averaged 7.5 APG in January in 28.8 mpg, and now in February so far 10.0 APG in 32.2 mpg. And this all comes with the starting lineup fluctuating a lot around him, making it even more impressive.

He will finish top 5 if he keeps up his current level of play.

Absolutely, well deserved and your analysis is appreciated and spot on! I was just thinking about that very point last night - how this revolving door playing roster makes Collier’s job so difficult. Particularly when he’s out there with the Mash unit like last night, his numbers are going to take a hit! (Actually surprised that with all the suspicious injury and rest status activity this season that Silver hasn’t hit us with fines.)

The NBA doesnt care what the Jazz do. They care more about stars resting in marquee games than anything else.
 
Hard not to get excited about Collier. We may be onto something with the Collier - Keyonte combo. Isaiah is clearly a better true PG and that may free up Keyonte to be more of a "microwave scorer" type, even if that means he comes off the bench.

Hard to get too attached to either, though. That goes with anyone on the roster. Assuming we're still in "acquire best star player available" mode it feels like any of these guys could get moved on a dime.
 
Collier's going to be very good
He's strong enough to make just about any pass
Great court vision, great quickness, very good ball handler, etc
