He does and by a significant margin: 6apg vs 3.9 for 2nd place.

As good as Collier is playing still think Jazz need to look for more elite ballhandlers / playmakers

Collier's assist numbers since Jan. 1 are insane in general, not just for a rookie.

10.2 assists per 36 minutes.

This was a weird, weird game. Williams played well, Martin shows up and balls, Keyonte shows up and shoots a better percentage from three than he does the charity stripe, and Jeff Green shows us his game ages like wine (his game is so much more efficient than when he was in his 20s).

Cody 9-6-1-1 and actually made basketball moves to the rim. Best game in a while

Beating the Rockets with mostly our young guys when the national media keeps talking about how great the Rockets young guys are is kind of satisfying.

However for the tanks sake this is a pretty bad win especially with our upcoming schedule.

I'm not gonna lie. Despite being full on team tank, I was having a lot of fun watching that game and was actually kind of rooting for the win.
This season if the jazz and BYU are playing at the same time I have typically watched the BYU game. Last night BYU was playing a close game with a ranked team on the road (Cougars won by 1 point) and I chose to watch the entire jazz game and miss the BYU game.

Played some really good defense at times too

I also loved the save off of the Kessler block.

Good game for the young guys and even though it cost us a win, it was nice to see Lauri bounce back and have a good second half.

HOU is not very good without FVV who is in my opinion the most underrated player in the league.

Well, to be honest, it has to do as much with the situation at the Jazz as with his skill. Collier had the luck to land at the team that has no point guards whatsoever and does not care about the wins so the Jazz are happy to give him all the development minutes in the world. On any semi-decent team Collier would be buried deep on the bench.

That was awesome. Sequence of the game for sure and one of the best plays of the year

I was AT the game and was still checking the Jazz score and box. Not to take away from the BYU game which was awesome!

Kessler: 5-5 11 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists in 33 minutes (ESPN box score stupidly doesn't show blocks)

Jazz need to sit him for the rest of the year lol. He is probably the biggest tank killer on the team.
